Question
A 5-year-old child has epilepsy. Can it be treated?
Answer
A 5-year-old child experiencing epilepsy symptoms may be related to congenital neurological developmental abnormalities. If the child had difficult labor at birth, it is more likely to trigger epilepsy. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a brain CT and EEG examination promptly. After diagnosis, it is important to consistently take anti-epileptic medication, and acupuncture treatment can be considered as well. Some children may have a significant improvement.
