Question
What is my niece’s epilepsy? Is it serious? What should we do?
Answer
Epilepsy is a disease characterized by episodic headaches, which is more common in children and does not show a clear gender difference. It is characterized by sudden headaches mainly in the forehead, temporal region, parietal region, or orbital area, with severe pain that lasts for several minutes to an hour. Other neurological symptoms may occur during the attack. The treatment with anti-epileptic drugs is effective, while other drugs are ineffective. It is recommended to use Chinese herbal medicine, which has fewer side effects and can achieve the effect of treating both symptoms and causes.
