Question
Dynamic EEG detects abnormal waves during sleep, with multiple occurrences of high-amplitude sharp waves and sharp-slow waves, especially in the right frontal-temporal area. Can taking traditional Chinese medicine completely cure the condition?
Answer
This condition may be epilepsy, which usually requires a diagnosis based on clinical symptoms. If a child exhibits symptoms such as seizures, frothing at the mouth, loss of consciousness, stiffness of limbs, and clenched jaws, it could be epilepsy. In cases where blood tests are normal, further head MRI can be conducted for confirmation. Epilepsy treatment can involve medications such as oxcarbazepine, valproate, lamotrigine, and it’s important to monitor for drug side effects and regularly check blood counts and liver and kidney function.
