Question
A two-year-old patient with a ten-year history of epilepsy inquires about the possibility of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Answer
The main methods of epilepsy treatment currently include medication and surgical treatment. Medication is the first choice and is suitable for most epilepsy patients. Surgical treatment carries greater risks and is usually used as a supplementary measure for intractable epilepsy that does not respond to medication. In addition, there are auxiliary treatment methods such as acupuncture and catgut embedding, but their effectiveness is limited and they are generally used as complementary treatments.
