Patient's question:
My child has been experiencing seizures since last year whenever they have a fever. During episodes, their limbs are extended, hands clenched into fists, eyes rolled back, and lips turn purple. In October last year, they underwent an MRI and EEG at Harbin Medical University, but no abnormalities were found. However, during several of these episodes, they also frothed at the mouth, with each episode lasting over 10 minutes. Since the illness began last year, they have had about 10 episodes. The hospital's thorough examination concluded it was epilepsy. What medications are used to treat epilepsy? What is the best medication for treating epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The method of drug treatment for epilepsy is a common therapeutic approach, but its effects vary among different patients. If long-term medication still fails to effectively treat epilepsy, it is best to seek comprehensive and scientific diagnosis at a reputable specialized hospital as soon as possible. Currently, there is a scientific treatment method that can precisely lock onto inflamed nerves and comprehensively repair the function of neural peptides from the root cause of the disease.For epilepsy, a diet should be light yet nutritious, with a focus on consuming rice, noodles, and vegetables. It is also advisable to include foods that nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the spleen, aid digestion, and boost qi and blood. Lean pork, pig heart, pig liver, animal brains, longan meat, lotus seeds, and goji berries are good choices. Additionally, foods that promote bowel movement (such as honey, bananas, walnuts, almonds, and spinach) should be consumed regularly to maintain regular bowel movements.
