What should I pay attention to when treating epilepsy

The treatment of epilepsy should focus on the correct method, and never blindly believe in some folk remedies. Once these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital in time for a more comprehensive treatment and examination, and take regular medications and follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.

1. Choose your doctor carefully

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease with paroxysmal attacks. Most patients go to the doctor after an attack. At this time, it is important to choose a doctor with neurological specialist level, because the specialist has the ability to distinguish whether the patient is suffering from an epileptic seizure or epilepsy.

2. Careful treatment

After patients with epilepsy experiencing their first seizure have been carefully examined by neurologists, the cause has been found, and the diagnosis of epilepsy has been confirmed, there is still no consensus at home and abroad on whether or not to give patients anti-epileptic drug treatment. Therefore, we should not rush to use anti-epileptic drugs to treat patients with epilepsy experiencing their first seizure. It is more appropriate to give treatment after 1-2 more seizures, depending on the severity of the seizure.

3. Take medication regularly

Medication is an important means of treating epilepsy. The principle of drug treatment for epilepsy is to use different drugs for different types of seizures and EEG characteristics. The dosage should be determined according to the individual. The blood drug concentration should be checked regularly according to the condition and the dosage should be adjusted in time.
