Patient's question:
The baby has been carefully diagnosed with infantile spasms. They have been taking medication for one and a half months. The hospital prescribed sodium valproate and prednisone. During the medication period, the child's milk intake has significantly increased. The treatment effect has not been ideal. Can they take traditional Chinese medicine or other treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, infantile spasms are indeed a very difficult-to-treat form of epilepsy brain disease. Many children struggle to control it, and various different medications prove ineffective. The smaller the child, the greater the harm. Alternative treatment plans can be considered when necessary. Infantile spasms pose significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child for a follow-up visit to a specialized clinic and treat under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, and their dietary issues should be given more attention, with the hope that they can recover as soon as possible!
