Patient's question:
Hello, the baby next door is 5 years old this year and unfortunately suffers from epilepsy. Every time I see him have a seizure, my heart aches. I just want to know what to do when a child has a seizure.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Currently, the most reliable approach for epilepsy is to take antiepileptic drugs on time and in the right dosage. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, it's important to control seizures and prevent their recurrence. The earlier the treatment begins, the better. The more frequent and longer the seizures are, the more they strengthen the original epileptic focus.Since Western antiepileptic drugs have significant side effects and many patients find them hard to tolerate, it's worth exploring traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies. Combining Western and Eastern medicine or, based on the pathogenesis of the condition, adopting treatments such as "stabilizing epilepsy and calming wind," "soothing the liver and draining fire," "dispelling phlegm and opening the orifices," and "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" can address the disease at its root.
