Question
My brother’s baby was studying at school when he suddenly called to say the baby had a dizzy spell, with slight convulsions all over his body and bit his tongue, which was quite terrifying. Later, my brother rushed over and took him to the city People’s Hospital. After the doctor examined him, they said the baby had epilepsy. How does a pediatric epilepsy hospital treat epilepsy?
Answer
Epileptic seizures occur due to pathological changes in the brain caused by epilepsy or genetic factors combined with external triggering factors, leading to abnormal discharge of damaged brain neuron cells. Common causes of triggering epilepsy include brain injury, brain trauma, congenital diseases, vascular malformations, metabolic disorders, intracranial infection, and fever-induced seizures. Advice: Regardless of which hospital you go to, it is recommended to undergo a detailed examination in the neurology department to identify the cause of the epilepsy and then treat it specifically based on the cause under the guidance of a physician. Patients should carefully choose treatment plans. When medication is not administered properly or irregularly, it can lead to frequent seizures, causing great physical and mental pain to the patient. Avoid various factors that trigger epilepsy attacks. Avoid working or engaging in activities in dangerous areas. Treat the disease correctly; do not develop negative or pessimistic emotions because of epilepsy. Face reality positively and engage in work within your capabilities.
