Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 5 years old, generally in good health before.Condition:
1. During the onset, there was sudden loss of consciousness, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, eyes wide open, eyes rolling upward, apnea, and cyanosis.
2. The seizure typically lasts for 1-5 minutes.
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is primarily treated with medication, and most patients can achieve relatively ideal results through medication. A small portion of patients may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as those with brain tumors, cerebral hemorrhage, or other organic lesions. However, surgical treatment also carries the risk of recurrence. Medication treatment is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that nourishes the heart and kidneys, removes phlegm and calms wind, opens the orifices and calms epilepsy, promotes blood circulation and resolves stasis, and pacifies the liver and clears fire. This helps regulate the physical condition, improve the function of internal organs, strengthen the foundation and replenish essence, ultimately achieving the goal of cure. TCM has fewer side effects, treats both the root and symptoms, and reduces the likelihood of recurrence after cure, achieving excellent therapeutic effects.
