Patient's question:
At the age of five months, the child began to have epilepsy seizures. An MRI showed a meningeal cyst of about 4 cm on the head. The doctor said the child is too young and suggested waiting until the child is one year old to consider surgery. Currently, the child is taking Keppra. Now the child has a cold and cough, and had a recurrence once at the hospital. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to serve you. After reading your description, I feel that traditional Chinese medicine should be used for treatment, in conjunction with the Kaipulan you are currently using. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effects of eliminating phlegm, extinguishing wind, transforming nature and calming epilepsy, promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, nourishing the heart and kidneys, and calming the liver and draining fire. Gradually reduce the Western medicine during the course of taking traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has no dependence, few side effects, and can counteract the side effects of Western medicine, regulate internal health, and surpass the effect of self-healing.
