Patient's question:
My sister's baby has recently been experiencing sudden dizzy spells while studying at school. The baby has also been having some convulsions all over, which is quite frightening. Later, my brother rushed over to take the baby to the Municipal People's Hospital. After the doctor examined the baby, it was diagnosed with epilepsy. Where should one go to treat epilepsy? How can it be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in the treatment of epilepsy, the main approaches are medication and surgery. Medication is the most common and widespread method for treating epilepsy. Western medications take effect quickly, but long-term use of drugs to combat epilepsy is not advisable, as it may produce other side effects on the brain. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is too slow to show results, and to date, there is no effective treatment method or system. It can only control epilepsy seizures but cannot fundamentally and completely cure epilepsy. While surgical treatment for epilepsy is fast, it is not suitable for all patients. Therefore, after being diagnosed, it is important to seek systematic treatment promptly to avoid missing the best time for treatment. There is now a mature therapy that can fundamentally repair damaged neurons, thereby improving the quality of life for epilepsy patients and reducing treatment costs to a great extent.
