Patient's question:
Thank you for the doctor's quick answer for me - how to treat and preventDoctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is not an infectious disease. Breastfeeding has nothing to do with it; it's just that we are concerned about the side effects of Western medicine. If you stop taking the medication, epilepsy will definitely. Chinese medicine can be used to treat it, which can not only cure the disease thoroughly but also has no side effects. Drugs can be excreted through breast milk, which is a well-known phenomenon. The content and concentration of different drugs in breast milk vary. Women with epilepsy who take multiple large doses of antiepileptic drugs, such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and diazepam, will have the active ingredients of the drugs present in breast milk. If the baby consumes it, it may develop side effects from the drugs. Therefore, to protect the child, mothers undergoing long-term antiepileptic treatment should not breastfeed. However, if the mother is taking only a single, small dose of medication, there should be no problem, and she can breastfeed. But it is best to consult a specialist physician. Wishing you good health!
