Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with epilepsy about ten years ago after a thorough examination. After the diagnosis, I have been controlling the condition with oral Western medicine. Although there have been no major relapses, the side effects of the medication are quite significant. I would like to try Chinese medicine treatment, as it is less harmful to the body. How effective is Chinese medicine treatment for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the current situation you described, if there is a suggestion of epilepsy, it is still recommended to use Western medicine to control the condition. Currently, epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires long-term medication for control. However, if you wish to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, this is also permissible. Currently, it is not advisable to stop using it, as this could worsen the symptoms. Wishing you good health.
