Patient's question:
The baby has been carefully diagnosed with infantile spasms and has been on medication for one and a half months. The hospital prescribed sodium valproate and prednisone. During the medication period, the child's milk intake has significantly increased. The treatment effect has not been ideal. Can Chinese medicine or other treatment methods be used?Doctor's answer:
Severe pediatric pain syndrome is primarily treated with antiepileptic drugs and hormones. Most cases have a poor prognosis, and recurrence can be suppressed through medication or surgery. The earlier treatment begins, the milder the potential brain damage in the child may be. Depending on the condition, surgical treatment can also be confirmed under the guidance of specialists in tertiary hospitals.1. Cerebral cortex lesion resection.
2. Anterior temporal lobe resection.
3. Hemispheric cortex resection.
4. Hemispherectomy.
5. Stereotactic surgery for epilepsy.
6. Cerebellar electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy, etc.
I hope this explanation is helpful to you.
