Question
My daughter is five months old. During her first month, we noticed her lower lip tremble, and she would quickly fall asleep and then wake up immediately. From two to three months, we observed her hands occasionally twitching, and her eyes would converge and close for about half a minute. Now, she sometimes experiences nausea. Could this be epilepsy? Can we administer medication to nourish brain cells?
Answer
Currently, the treatment of epilepsy in both China and internationally primarily focuses on medication. After receiving formal anti-epileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Of these patients, 50% to 60% can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment and can live and work normally like others. Therefore, rational and formal anti-epileptic drug treatment is crucial.
