Question

Hello, I would like to know if acupuncture point injection of traditional Chinese medicine is effective for a child with optic nerve atrophy. At the same time, can you tell me what potential risks this treatment method may pose?

Answer

Optic nerve atrophy is a disease that affects vision and light sensation. The primary task in treating this condition is to identify and treat the underlying cause, as only then can there be hope for spontaneous recovery. Medication treatment is ineffective, and it is not recommended to waste money on advertised small medicines. Therefore, parents should immediately take their child for medical treatment and avoid using medication blindly. For parents, it is important to carefully observe any changes in your child’s symptoms and do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the disease. Regarding the treatment method of acupuncture point injection of traditional Chinese medicine, I cannot give a definitive answer to its effectiveness as it requires specific situation analysis. However, please note that any treatment method carries certain risks, including acupuncture point injection of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, when considering this treatment method, be cautious and consult with a professional physician’s opinion.
