Question
How should the symptoms of infantile epilepsy be handled?
Answer
Epilepsy should be detected and treated early to achieve good control. Most epilepsy patients experience good control after systematic and standardized treatment. In recent years, some patients who have adopted traditional Chinese medicine for epilepsy treatment have even achieved self-healing effects. However, the prognosis is poorer in the following situations: recurrence before one year of age, infantile spasms, psychomotor recurrence or mixed-type recurrence, abnormal EEG or progressive deterioration, frequent recurrence, persistent epilepsy status, long course of illness, and recurrence after discontinuation of medication.
