Question
The patient’s initial epilepsy symptoms were accompanied by fever and multiple seizures. The EEG examination showed the presence of spikes and spike-wave complexes. Can epilepsy be treated with medication?
Answer
The treatment for epilepsy includes medication and surgical treatment. Currently, medication treatment is the most common and widely used method. Western medicine usually has a quick effect, but long-term use may produce side effects on the brain. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is slower in its effectiveness. There is currently a new treatment method that can control epilepsy in a short time and effectively prevent recurrence.
