Question
A parent inquires if there are effective medication treatments for their child who has been suffering from infantile epilepsy for eight years. The child experiences seizures upon waking each day, characterized by nodding spells and arms in a holding posture, with each nod lasting a second and a series of nods occurring for tens of times upon waking.
Answer
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, sufficient yang energy not only ensures mental vitality but also makes tendons and meridians supple. The child is likely suffering due to an imbalance of yin and yang from a congenital condition. Suggestion: If Western medicine treatment is ineffective, for long-term treatment, consider using traditional Chinese medicine. However, in emergency situations, Western medicine treatment should still be the primary approach.
