What are the treatments for benign epilepsy?

Epilepsy is one of the very common diseases in life. This disease is generally congenital and present from the moment of birth. It is a time bomb for the patient's life and can occur at any time, causing a great impact on life. Among epilepsy, benign epilepsy is the easiest to control. Let's take a look at the explanation of the treatment methods for benign epilepsy so that patients can learn about it.

Epilepsy can be benign. "Benign epilepsy" means that a child's epilepsy may only occur within a certain age range and generally does not continue into adulthood. Moreover, the child's intelligence and physical development will not be affected. Benign epileptic seizures themselves are usually easy to control. The most common example of benign epilepsy in childhood is benign Rolando epilepsy, which usually occurs between the ages of 3 and 12. Seizures are generally infrequent and respond well to one medication, usually recovering before the age of 15. Because this type of epilepsy has a clear age correlation, some even believe that patients with infrequent seizures may not even need medication. Do not increase or decrease the dosage or stop taking the medicine without the guidance of a doctor. Stopping medication without authorization will do more harm than good to the patient. It is recommended to take the medication under the guidance of a doctor.

(1) After the resection and suture treatment of epilepsy, it is necessary to keep the resection and sutures clean and dry. Generally, you can take a shower one month after the sutures are removed. If you take a shower too early, the injured and ruptured area will come into contact with water, which can easily cause infection, which will have a poor effect on treatment.

(2) Exercise properly and keep yourself in a good mood. Postoperative epilepsy patients should develop a fitness plan for themselves according to their own physical recovery and work conditions, firmly adhere to exercise, and gradually restore their body strength. At the same time, it also plays a very important role in disease recovery and prevention of recurrence. In addition, they should also participate in group activities outside of work and maintain a positive and positive attitude.

(3) After epilepsy resection and suture treatment, you need to pay special attention to a balanced diet. Folic acid deficiency is also related to the increased occurrence of epilepsy. Animal kidneys, beef, and green vegetables all contain folic acid, so you can eat more beef. Strengthen nutrition, eat more lean meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and apples, and keep the body smooth.

(4) Be persistent in returning for follow-up visits so that treatment can be prolonged. Patients must follow the doctor's orders and insist on follow-up examinations, take medications at the prescribed time, and remember to contact the doctor before stopping all medications, and stop taking them gradually to avoid sudden discontinuation of medications, which may cause the disease to recur. No matter what discomfort you feel, please contact your doctor as soon as possible to seek treatment.
