Patient's question:
My son started experiencing epilepsy symptoms after attending kindergarten. He had convulsions with his eyes rolling back at around 5 a.m. Now that he's 7 years old, it has happened 5 times. There is no hereditary disease, but he often gets inflamed lymph nodes and suffers from frequent colds when he plays too hard. Once when he was young, he had a fever of 41 degrees Celsius at night, and when checked at the women's and children's health care center, they found mild abnormal brain discharge. They recommended using Western medicine.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many medications for treating epilepsy. Most antiepileptic drugs have antiepileptic effects, but they only work by reducing the excitability of brain nerves to control seizures, not by repairing damaged brain neurons. Moreover, long-term medication can lead to excessively high blood drug concentrations, which not only fails to control seizures but also increases the frequency of attacks. Each seizure causes brain cell damage, and long-term medication can also lead to memory decline and liver cell damage. It is recommended to seek early treatment and avoid desperation, as it may worsen the condition and increase the difficulty of future treatment. Currently, the most effective epilepsy treatment methods include "Minimally Invasive Acupoint Blocking Therapy: leading technology, unique methods, stable efficacy; Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy: convenient operation, non-invasive, no side effects." Choosing a regular and authoritative hospital for treatment is key, and we hope patients recover soon.
