Patient's question:
My sister suffers from epilepsy. During a seizure, she loses consciousness, foams at the mouth, and has. I feel truly heartbroken when my sister has a seizure. I hope my sister's condition can be cured. I would like to ask the doctor whether traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine is better for treating epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic, intermittent, and recurrent disease, and its treatment is relatively difficult. Some epilepsy patients need to take oral antiepileptic drugs for years to prevent recurrence. These treatments cannot fundamentally cure epilepsy. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treatment. TCM can alleviate epilepsy symptoms from the root cause, with very good effects, but it requires taking oral medication for a year or more.
