Patient's question:
The weather is getting hotter and summer has arrived. Sometimes children may experience muscle cramps. Is it epilepsy if babies have muscle cramps in summer?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy is currently still primarily focused on medication. Most patients can achieve relatively ideal results through medication, while 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. Medication should still be taken consistently after surgery. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine decoctions that nourish the heart and kidneys, clear phlegm and subdue wind, open the orifices and calm seizures, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and pacify the liver and clear fire to regulate the body's condition, improve the function of internal organs, strengthen the foundation and replenish essence, ultimately achieving the goal of cure. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects, treats both the root and symptoms, and is less likely to recur after recovery.
