Question
An 8-year-old child was diagnosed with epilepsy last year and has been taking traditional Chinese medicine for 9 months. However, he still experiences dizziness 3 to 4 times a month. Does this mean that traditional Chinese medicine cannot control the epilepsy?
Answer
Hello, for medication treatment, it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine with existing Western medicine, which can yield significant effects. Traditional Chinese medicine can clear phlegm heat, open orifices to control seizures, activate blood circulation to remove blood stasis, nourish the heart and kidneys, calm the liver and reduce fire. While taking traditional Chinese medicine, gradually reduce the dosage of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has no dependence, few side effects, and can reduce the side effects of Western medicine, regulate the body’s condition after long-term use of Western medicine, adjust organ functions, strengthen the root and nourish the origin, thereby achieving the therapeutic goal.
