Question
Hello, I’ve been feeling unwell recently and would like to inquire about the treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric epilepsy needs to consider that the child is younger and their organ functions are not yet fully developed. Antiepileptic drugs may have adverse effects on liver and kidney function, leading to issues such as decreased memory and reduced language ability. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine such as Tianma, Huashi, Lingjiao, She Xiang, Chaihu, Guizhi, Shigangpu, Qingyangshen, Baijiangcan, Gouteng, Yangxiancao, Zhenzhumu, Tie Dan Fen, Longji Cao, and Gancao for treatment. These herbs have the effects of reinforcing the body’s resistance, expelling pathogenic factors, calming the mind and soothing the nerves, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, removing dampness and cooling the blood, and clearing the mind and opening the orifices. They work quickly and have a proven therapeutic effect, with many patients experiencing no recurrence after recovery.
