Question
As the weather gets warmer and summer approaches, children sometimes experience cramps. Is it possible that a baby’s cramps in summer are a sign of epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy treatment currently primarily focuses on medication, which can achieve relatively ideal effects for the majority of patients. A small number of patients may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as for brain tumors or cerebral hemorrhages due to organic changes. However, there is a possibility of recurrence after surgery. Postoperative medication treatment should be continued. Medication treatment is recommended to use Chinese herbal decoctions that nourish the heart and kidneys, purge phlegm and subdue wind, open orifices and stabilize seizures, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, calm the liver and reduce fire to regulate physical condition and organ function, reinforce the foundation and generate vital energy, and achieve the goal of healing. Chinese medicine has fewer side effects, treats both the root and the symptoms, and is less likely to recur after healing.
