Specialists can then prescribe appropriate anti-epileptic drugs or surgical methods, which tend to be more effective. In daily life, it is essential to enhance self-care and nursing, avoid fatigue, prevent stimulation, and avoid emotional excitement, which generally helps reduce and control recurrence.
