Patient's question:
I would like to ask a few questions. My middle school student has had epilepsy, and it has always been grand mal seizures. After taking sodium valproate extended-release tablets, there has been a significant improvement. It has been seven years since the last episode, and the doctor has recommended reducing the medication, which is currently in progress.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires a long time for treatment and patience. There are many methods for treating epilepsy, including surgery, medication, and physical therapy. The key to treating epilepsy is to find the correct and appropriate therapy that suits you, and to coordinate well with the doctor's treatment. Do not stop or reduce medication on your own. Epilepsy can be cured. In daily life, it is important to maintain an optimistic attitude and avoid overexertion. Ensure you get sufficient deep sleep. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
