Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Can children with epilepsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy in clinical diagnosis, is characterized by typical symptoms during recurrence: suddenly shouting, falling to the ground, convulsions of the limbs, upward gaze of the eyes, foaming at the mouth, incontinence of urine, lasting for seconds or minutes. The main basis for diagnosis is clinical symptoms and electroencephalogram (EEG). Treatment primarily focuses on suppressing symptoms during recurrence and preventing further episodes. Generally, the first-line medications include carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, sodium valproate, etc. Additionally, attention should be paid to tongue bites, fall-related seizures, and limb injuries.
