Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently. I'd like to inquire about the treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
The patient is young, with delicate tissues and organs that are not fully developed, resulting in weaker metabolism, distribution, decomposition, and excretion of antiepileptic drugs. Taking Western medicine may lead to adverse effects such as abnormal liver and kidney function, memory decline, and poor language expression. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as Tianma (Gastrodia elata), Hupu (Amber), Xiangyangjiao (Antelope Horn), Shezhang (Musk), Chaihu (Bupleurum), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shichangpu (Calamus), Qingyangshen (Uncaria), Baijianscan (Bombyx mori), Gouteng (Honeysuckle), Yangpilecao (Valeriana), Zhenzhumu (Mother-of-pearl), Tietaofen (Iron Gall Powder), Longjicao (Isodon), and Gancao (Licorice) for treatment. These herbs are effective with quick results and have been proven to cure many patients without recurrence. These traditional Chinese medicines have the functions of invigorating the body, dispelling pathogens, calming the mind, calming nerves, promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, expelling dampness, cooling blood, and reviving the brain.
