Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment for a 2.5-Year-Old Child with Epilepsy

Question

A 2.5-year-old child has epilepsy, with symptoms including frequent blinking and wrinkling of the nose, and occasionally waking up crying during naps. Can epilepsy be cured with traditional Chinese medicine? If so, how long does it usually take to take the medication?

Answer

In your described situation, traditional Chinese medicine treatment for epilepsy can be effective, but it is important to go to a regular three-level A hospital for diagnosis and receive proper medication treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. Epilepsy is a condition caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain, and for a child of 2.5 years old, it is only a mild seizure. It is recommended to bring the child to the traditional Chinese medicine department or epilepsy specialty clinic of a regular three-level A hospital for an outpatient visit, and decide whether to undergo traditional Chinese or Western medicine treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. At the same time, regular check-ups should be scheduled, and medication should not be discontinued or increased without authorization. Children with epilepsy can generally recover on their own, so attention should be paid to diet and nutrition, avoiding excessive stimulation and scares, preventing high fever, avoiding long periods of television watching, and avoiding overeating and overdrinking.
