Patient's question:
The child is eight years old. He had an episode similar to epilepsy at 5:30 PM the day before yesterday. At 12:30 PM yesterday, he had another episode and lost control of his bladder. At 11:03 PM last night, he had a smaller episode. And this morning at 6:24 AM, he had another episode. How can I seek your help for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, with proper treatment, most epilepsy patients can be cured, and the prognosis is good. Epilepsy has many types, and the current treatment primarily focuses on medication. Medication can achieve relatively ideal results for most patients. A small portion of patients may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as cases involving brain tumors, brain hemorrhages, or other organic lesions. However, surgical treatment also carries the risk of recurrence, and medication must still be taken consistently after surgery.For medication, it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the current Western medicine for better efficacy. TCM has functions such as eliminating phlegm, extinguishing wind, opening the orifices and calming epilepsy, promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, tonifying the heart and kidneys, and calming the liver and draining fire. During TCM treatment, Western medicine should be gradually reduced. TCM has no dependence, minimal side effects, and can counteract the side effects of Western medicine. It also helps regulate the body's condition after long-term use of Western medicine, improves the function of internal organs, strengthens the foundation and nurtures the essence, ultimately achieving the goal of cure.
