Patient's question:
8-year-old child, diagnosed with epilepsy last year, has been taking traditional Chinese medicine for 9 months now, but still experiences dizziness 3-4 times a month. Does this mean the traditional Chinese medicine is not effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine combined with the current Western medicine for treatment, which will have a very good therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicine has the functions of removing phlegm, calming 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. Gradually reduce the Western medicine while taking traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has no dependence, minimal side effects, and can counteract the side effects of Western medicine. It also helps regulate the body condition after long-term use of Western medicine, adjusts the functions of the viscera, strengthens the root and nurtures the origin, ultimately achieving the goal of curing.
