Patient's question:
Hello, my child is 13 years old and has had epilepsy for almost two years. They are taking carbamazepine tablets for treatment. However, they had another episode more than a year ago. Their personality has become violent and disobedient. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Treatment suggestions should adopt traditional Chinese medicine combined with the current Western medicine for a better therapeutic effect. The traditional Chinese medicine should use decoctions that have the functions of eliminating phlegm, extinguishing wind, opening orifices, calming epilepsy, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, invigorating the heart and kidneys, and calming the liver and draining fire. 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 internal organs, strengthens the foundation and nurtures the essence, ultimately achieving the goal of curing.
