Question
The baby has been diagnosed with infantile spasm syndrome and has been on medication for a month and a half. The hospital has prescribed Aminophylline and Prednisone. During the medication period, the child’s milk intake has significantly increased. The effects of the medication treatment are also not ideal. Can Chinese medicine or other treatment methods be considered?
Answer
Infantile spasm syndrome is indeed a difficult-to-treat epilepsy-related brain disease, with many children having difficulty controlling their symptoms and various medications not being effective. The younger the child, the greater the harm. Other treatment options can be considered if necessary. The harm of infantile spasm syndrome to children is relatively significant, so it is recommended that parents bring their child to a specialized clinic for a follow-up examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is important to give the child enough care and attention, pay close attention to their dietary issues, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
