Patient's question:
Hello doctor. My daughter is 1 year and 2 months old. Yesterday morning, she suddenly had a seizure with purple lips and was unconscious for a few minutes. Later, she went to the hospital for tests, and CT, EEG, and blood tests were all normal. The blood test showed low sodium levels, only around 50. In the past few days, including the two or three days before the seizure, she had diarrhea, with 4-5 bowel movements a day. Could this be epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Test for trace elements to check if there are any electrolyte abnormalities. If not, consider it as the internal movement of liver wind according to traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to use San Bai Yi Cao for treatment. Boil white peony root, white atractylodes, Poria and licorice in water, then mix with malt sugar for oral administration. The amount of white peony root should be three times that of the other herbs.
