What to do if epilepsy occurs multiple times?
If epilepsy occurs multiple times, it is necessary to control the patient's seizures with effective medication. For example, patients with grand mal seizures need to be given diazepam and phenobarbital in a timely manner to stop the seizures. In addition, patients also need to take long-term oral medications such as lamotrigine and sodium valproate to prevent the occurrence of epilepsy. If it is a partial seizure, patients need to take medications such as carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, and pregabalin long-term to prevent seizures. For patients with intractable epilepsy that responds poorly to medication, surgical treatment can also be used to control the symptoms of epilepsy. Moreover, in their daily lives, patients need to adopt good dietary and lifestyle habits to avoid various triggers that may cause repeated seizures. For instance, patients need to ensure sufficient and good quality sleep, maintain a calm mindset, and also abstain from smoking and drinking. Only by doing so can the repeated occurrences of epilepsy be effectively prevented.
