Patient's question:
Parents of children with epilepsy should be cautious about medication treatment. They have a relapse every two months if they don't take their medication. They only met an expert when he was around six years old. They used Keppra. They have been taking the medication for a year without any seizures. They have been taking it for a long time. Later, they were arrested several times. The doctor suggested we take more medication. Now, epilepsy attacks are very frequent, almost every week. Two or three times, the last time given to the traditional Chinese medicine doctor was an additional dose, but the result was frequent relapses. After a major attack occurred again, the mouth often developed blisters, hands and feet twitched, and sometimes there was incontinence. Now, this medication has started to become ineffective. Dizziness and excessive excitement often reappear. Suddenly, it happens again, the head moves to the right, speech is incoherent. Lying on the bed for a while. She is ten years old now. Can she see it that way? I'm afraid I'll be foolish.Doctor's answer:
Antiepileptic drugs require gradual adjustment. If not properly controlled, they also need to be gradually increased. Traditional Chinese medicine is not effective in treating epilepsy. However, epilepsy without other complications is not foolish. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a re-examination of the brain and switch to a new antiepileptic drug based on the actual situation. Friends with epilepsy should maintain a positive mindset and face the disease with optimism. Only in this way can we enhance the patient's immunity and their belief in fighting the disease. I believe that with this approach, the disease can definitely be driven away.
