Question
My niece is in the fourth grade this year, and she has had a two-year history of epilepsy. Recently, I witnessed her having a seizure; she suddenly collapsed to the ground, her limbs twitched, and she spat out some white liquid. The scene was extremely terrifying. She is currently undergoing medication treatment.
Answer
Hello, common treatment methods for epilepsy include medication and surgical treatments. Medication can control seizures by reducing the excitability of the brain, but it usually requires long-term medication and has significant side effects. Not all epilepsy patients are suitable for surgical treatment. Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal discharge of neurons, and only by repairing damaged neuron cells can seizures be avoided. It is recommended that you actively seek treatment in collaboration with your doctor.
