Patient's question:
First lose consciousness then tonic, 1 day attack several times, seen in Changshu No. 2 Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy, it is important to consider both the efficacy of the medication and whether the child can tolerate its side effects. Epilepsy treatment is a chronic process, and families must have confidence in the treatment. Epilepsy is not an incurable disease. With active treatment, reasonable medication, and a scientific treatment plan, positive outcomes can be achieved. We hope that epilepsy patients can actively face their condition and the of epilepsy attacks and premonitory symptoms.For epilepsy, the most reliable prevention is to take antiepileptic medication on time and in the prescribed dosage. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, it is essential to control the seizures and prevent further episodes. The earlier the treatment begins, the better, as more frequent and prolonged seizures can strengthen the existing epileptic focus.
Since Western medicine antiepileptics often have significant side effects that many patients find difficult to tolerate, it may be beneficial to explore traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies. A combination of Western and Chinese medicine approaches can be considered, or treatment can be tailored based on the underlying pathogenesis. TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is highly rigorous. Different types of epilepsy and individual constitutions require different treatment methods. Generally, 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 resolving stasis" are used to address the condition at its root.
