Question
What are the treatment effects and medication options for infant convulsions? My child was diagnosed with infant convulsions at 40 days old, and I’ve seen reports about the disease online. Is it true that the cure rate for this condition is only 5%-10%? Moreover, what medications are needed? Which hospital is most professional in treating this disease? Additional question (2008-4-28 22:04:01): My child is now over two months old, and the symptoms have not subsided. The hospital has prescribed clonazepam and vitamin B6. Thank you for your help.
Answer
Convulsions are similar to epilepsy, and the medications used in Western medicine are also similar, often associated with cerebral organic changes. Currently, Western medications at home and abroad can only control the condition but cannot cure it. They mainly treat by calming and sedating, which can have significant side effects and may affect the growth and intelligence of children. Traditional Chinese medicine like “Ke Ban Ling” shows good effects, has no side effects, can cure the condition without recurrence, has a short treatment time, and is convenient to take.
