How to determine epilepsy

The diagnosis of epilepsy is mainly based on the patient's clinical symptoms. In addition, it is necessary to improve the corresponding examinations, such as EEG, brain CT and brain MRI, to assist in the diagnosis. When necessary, blood sugar, liver function, renal function, electrolytes, blood lipids, blood routine, thyroid function and other examinations should also be improved. When the patient shows epilepsy, the first thing is to go to the hospital in time to improve the examination to find out if there are any primary factors. If the primary cause is identified, the first step is to treat the primary disease. For example, if the brain tumor is caused, surgery may be considered to remove the tumor, if the parasite is caused, antiparasitic treatment may be considered. If there is no primary cause, or if the primary cause cannot be eradicated, when the patient repeatedly exhibits seizures, oral antiepileptic drugs may be considered. When taking oral medication, be sure to follow the doctor's advice and check it regularly.
