Question

What are some effective treatment methods for epilepsy caused by post-encephalitis sequelae?

Answer

For patients with epilepsy resulting from post-encephalitis sequelae, it is crucial to ensure adequate and deep sleep, avoid overtime work, and develop a good habit of taking a nap during lunchtime. If possible, a short rest in the middle of the day is recommended. For epilepsy patients, it is advisable to avoid sleeping on their stomach during naps and instead adopt a supine position. The pillow used by the patient should have a harder filling, such as a buckwheat husk pillow, to prevent difficulty in breathing if an epilepsy attack occurs at night.
