How to cure epilepsy thoroughly

summary

When I first suffered from epilepsy, how to recover is the most concerned thing. I used to be afraid of it, but if it is treated properly, the effect is still very optimistic. Let's see how to cure epilepsy thoroughly.

How to cure epilepsy thoroughly

First of all: it is very important to choose a doctor with the level of Neurology, who has the ability to distinguish between diseases similar to seizures rather than epilepsy. Because non epileptic seizures are 10-20 times more than epileptic seizures, such as nodding seizures, breath holding seizures, sleep disorders (night terrors, nightmares, sleepwalking) and cross rubbing legs in infants; fainting, migraine, local convulsions, adult hysteria attacks in school-age children. If we lack professional knowledge, we may treat these non epileptic seizures as epilepsy treatment, expand the diagnosis of epilepsy, and cause mental pain and economic burden to patients and parents.

Secondly: choose the right treatment method. For the patients with the first seizure, after careful examination by the neurologist, looking for the cause and confirming the diagnosis of epilepsy, decide whether to give antiepileptic drugs? For the patients with the first seizure, do not rush to use antiepileptic drugs, and then give treatment according to the seizure after 1-2 seizures. Because patients with the first attack may not have another attack later, it is harmful and unhelpful to give antiepileptic drugs to those who have only one attack for a long time. It is still an early treatment to use antiepileptic drugs after one or two repeated seizures, which not only conforms to the definition of epilepsy diagnosis, but also does not affect the therapeutic effect. For a small number of patients who only have one seizure for one year or more, they should continue to observe without drugs, but they should ask their parents to limit some activities like epilepsy patients.

Finally: the purpose of regular medication in the treatment of epilepsy is to eliminate the etiology, control seizures and maintain normal mental and neurological function. Therefore, patients should be treated as a whole, including etiological treatment, drug treatment, psychological treatment and surgical treatment. Drug is an important means of treatment of epilepsy, to ensure the correct and standardized drug treatment is the premise of rehabilitation of patients with epilepsy.
