Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent dizziness and headaches recently, sometimes even fainting. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the detailed check-up revealed encephalitis and epilepsy. I was hospitalized for a few days and then discharged. I bought some medication to take at home. Hello, what are the common treatments for encephalitis and epilepsy? Is it easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Encephalitis can lead to epilepsy. Generally, it is necessary to pay attention to the sequelae of encephalitis or the acute phase caused by encephalitis. It is necessary to perform an electroencephalogram (EEG), brain CT, and lumbar puncture to confirm the cause of encephalitis. If encephalitis or epilepsy occurs again, oral medication or diazepam should be used to prevent recurrence. Rest and active treatment should also be paid attention to. At the same time, spicy foods should be avoided. Encephalitis caused by this can still be treated.
