Question
There is a child in the village who has been experiencing convulsions whenever he has a fever since he was four years old, occurring about twice a year. He wants to know how to prevent it and is worried that he may develop other diseases. Is this epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy can have various causes, including genetics, electric shock, shock, brain trauma, neurosurgery, carbon monoxide poisoning, stroke, etc. These factors can lead to brain cell damage, causing abnormal discharge and abnormal brain function, resulting in epilepsy symptoms. Epilepsy is a chronic and recurrent disease, and patients should build confidence through regular treatment and medication, hoping for recovery. Currently, the main treatment for epilepsy is medication, with no optimal medication or method for individual patients. Therefore, it is recommended to seek treatment from professional epilepsy hospitals or consult with doctors specializing in epilepsy.
