I hope to receive many suggestions from doctors about pediatric epilepsy.What kind of assistance is needed: Many suggestions about pediatric epilepsy, can you explain?
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by sudden, abnormal electrical discharges in brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. Epilepsy caused by trauma, infection, or poisoning may also involve generational inheritance factors, potentially leading to hereditary transmission across generations. Clinical manifestations include generalized tonic-clonic seizures, absence seizures, and partial focal seizures. Currently, the primary treatment for epilepsy involves the use of antiepileptic drugs, and it is not advisable to arbitrarily change, interrupt, or stop Western medication. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used in conjunction with Western medicine. Different types of epilepsy require different medications, and it is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
