Patient's question:
When I was a child, I suffered from meningitis. The initial onset of epilepsy was three years ago. At that time, I went to the county hospital for a thorough examination and took carbamazepine for about a year. Now, I have frequent episodes, sometimes two or three times a month, with symptoms such as strange eyes,Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify. According to the situation you described, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating epilepsy is not very good, and it should be integrated with Western medicine treatment. It is recommended that you visit a formal Grade III-A hospital's neurology department or epilepsy specialty for an in-person consultation. Under the guidance of professional doctors, you should take medication correctly and have regular follow-up tests. Epilepsy patients need to take medicine long-term to suppress symptoms. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary nutrition, avoiding excessive stimulation and fright, avoiding overtime work and alcohol consumption, avoiding long periods of watching TV, avoiding excessive drinking and eating, avoiding tea, coffee, and chocolate.
