Patient's question:
When epilepsy recurs, it always involves foaming at the mouth and convulsions of the limbs, sometimes accompanied by strange cries. Can this condition still be cured? What are the Chinese medical treatments for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing a thorough examination in the relevant department of a regular hospital, understanding various aspects of treatment information, active treatment, appropriate medication, and determining a scientific treatment plan are crucial. For epilepsy, the most reliable preventive measure is to take antiepileptic drugs on time and in the correct dosage. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, it is essential to control recurrence and prevent further seizures. The earlier the treatment begins, the better. The more frequent and prolonged the recurrences, the more it indicates an increase in existing epileptic foci. Many traditional Chinese medicine therapies can appropriately alleviate symptoms or control recurrence rates. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is relatively rigorous. Different treatment approaches are adopted for different types of seizures and individual constitutions. Generally, methods such as calming the liver, clearing the fire, eliminating phlegm, transforming properties, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis are used to treat the disease at its root.
