Patient's question:
The boy is 11 years old this year and often suffers from stomach pain. During the electroencephalogram at the hospital, it showed moderate abnormalities, and the doctor preliminarily diagnosed it as epilepsy, requiring the use of traditional Chinese medicine. Since my home is in Mohe, it is too far away, and it is impossible to stay for a long time, so I returned. Some traditional Chinese medicine was prescribed and taken back. After returning, it recurred after a period of time.Doctor's answer:
First, protect the tongue by placing a gauze pad between the upper and lower molars of the patient before a recurrence to prevent tongue biting. During the recurrence period, keep the patient lying flat, loosen their collar, and shift their head to one side to facilitate the drainage of respiratory secretions and vomit, preventing them from flowing into the trachea and causing choking or breathing difficulties.During a grand mal seizure, respiratory secretions are often excessive, making it prone to respiratory obstruction or aspiration pneumonia. When the patient is twitching, ensure their mouth is empty and avoid administering medication to prevent breathing difficulties.
