Patient's question:
Hello, my child has had epilepsy for about five or six months. We have been taking Western medicine every day, but it hasn't improved. We have tried several different medications, but the seizures still occur repeatedly. I would like to try Chinese medicine treatment. Please, I really need your help. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Simple Western medicine treatment cannot cure epilepsy; it can only temporarily suppress seizures. As the duration of medication increases, it not only stimulates the liver, kidneys, and brain but also leads to drug resistance and dependence. Once the medication is stopped, it can cause more frequent seizures. Therefore, long-term use of Western medicine for treatment is not recommended.
