Question
How to treat pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The treatment of epilepsy primarily focuses on medication, which is effective for the majority of patients. A small number of cases may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as brain tumors and cerebrovascular diseases. However, there is still a possibility of recurrence after surgery. Postoperative medication treatment requires patience. Medication treatment is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine decoctions that supplement the heart and kidney, clear phlegm and subdue the wind, transform the nature and stabilize epilepsy, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, calm the liver and drain fire. This helps to nourish the physical condition and regulate organ functions, strengthen the foundation and boost the source, aiming for self-healing. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects, treats both symptoms and root causes, and is less likely to recur after recovery.
