Patient's question:
My son is 5 and a half years old. When he was three, he was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy. He has been taking Depakine to maintain it ever since. Some people say that traditional Chinese medicine can help with it. Is that reliable?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you cannot blindly believe what others say. You need to know that everyone has a different constitution, different methods, and different effects. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects in treating epilepsy, but its effectiveness is not great when used alone. It is mainly used for symptomatic treatment. If it is not suitable for the symptoms, the effect will not be good.
