Patient's question:
After a seizure, I've had a fever around 38°C. Last night at 3 AM, my temperature reached 39°C. I took Motrin to bring it down to 38.3°C, went to the hospital, and got Weilin, oral mucositis spray, and Compound Houttuynia TCM Syrup.Doctor's answer:
There are many methods for treating epilepsy. Only by choosing the right method based on your specific condition can you effectively treat epilepsy. I do not recommend taking medication, as it only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause. Once medication is stopped, the seizures may still occur. Therefore, I suggest adopting traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The cause of epilepsy is abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain, which is the root of epilepsy attacks.Advice: Hello, the medication dosage should start from the lowest common dose and gradually increase until the seizures are well-controlled without severe side effects. The frequency of administration should be determined based on the drug's characteristics and the nature of the seizures. Generally, it is not advisable to change or interrupt the medication arbitrarily. The dosage should be gradually reduced and stopped only after the seizures are completely controlled for 2-3 years with normal EEG results. Regular monitoring of drug concentrations should be conducted to adjust the dosage as needed.
