Question
A one-year-old child experienced two epilepsy seizures after a fall. The seizures were accompanied by symptoms of tightly clenched hands and staring eyes, followed by feelings of fatigue and the desire to sleep. The child has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is currently seeking treatment methods and long-term management strategies. The child’s parents also inquire about the possibility of using traditional Chinese medicine treatment and the likelihood of recovery.
Answer
Doctors recommend medication for treating pediatric epilepsy, which requires continuous use for 3 to 5 years without interruption and regular check-ups. For pediatric epilepsy that cannot be controlled with medication, surgery to remove the focus of the disease can be considered. Clinically, significant progress has been made in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy.
