Can pediatric epilepsy be cured?

Patient's question:

The four limbs twitch stiffly, the head is tilted backward, white foam is spit out, the lips turn purple and a loud scream is emitted. It lasts less than one minute. Afterward, the body becomes soft. Currently, it occurs at unpredictable intervals, with episodes happening for several days followed by periods of remission. From the second day of birth to now, no cause or underlying condition has been identified.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, with proper treatment, most epilepsy patients can be cured, and the prognosis is good. Epilepsy has many types, and currently, drug treatment remains the primary choice for epilepsy. Most patients can achieve relatively ideal results with medication. A small portion may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as cases involving brain tumors, brain hemorrhages, or other organic lesions. However, surgical treatment also carries the possibility of recurrence. Post-surgery, it is still necessary to persist in taking medication.
For drug treatment, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that focuses on tonifying the heart and kidneys, removing phlegm and calming wind, opening the orifices and calming epilepsy, promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, and calming the liver and draining fire. This helps regulate the body's condition, improve the function of internal organs, strengthen the foundation and cultivate essence, ultimately achieving the goal of cure. TCM has fewer side effects, treats both the root and symptoms, and reduces the likelihood of recurrence after recovery. It can achieve excellent therapeutic effects.
