Question
How to treat epilepsy in a 10-year-old child? The child fell ill in mid-March 2010, experiencing whole-body convulsions for less than a minute during an attack, feeling unwell, with poor appetite, and losing weight. It may be related to being scolded for poor academic performance after transferring schools.
Answer
The recommended treatment for epilepsy is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, switching to traditional Chinese medicine after symptom control. Western medicine acts quickly, controlling symptoms promptly, but it has significant side effects, such as liver and kidney dysfunction, decreased memory, and poor language expression ability, and requires lifelong medication. Traditional Chinese medicine follows the principles of treating the root cause and dialectical treatment, regulating organ functions, reinforcing the body’s foundation, and achieving healing. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects and has the potential to Radical Cure (radically cure) epilepsy.
