Question
What should epilepsy patients be cautious of when bathing?
Answer
During an epilepsy seizure, patients may experience symptoms such as convulsive movements of the limbs, clenched fists, eyes rolling up or the black spot of an eye turning to one side, blue complexion, and frothing at the mouth. These seizures are often accompanied by tongue bites and incontinence. It is recommended to actively treat epilepsy, as although seizures are infrequent, the symptoms are severe and accidents are likely to occur. Currently, medication is the main treatment method, which can effectively help most patients alleviate the discomfort of epilepsy and lead a normal life. The key is to use medication correctly and apply treatment methods reasonably, avoiding blind and arbitrary medication. Patients should avoid bathing alone, keep the water temperature moderate, ensure good ventilation in the bathroom, avoid long baths, and not bathe on an empty stomach."
