Although we pressed hard, the child''s face gradually became darker, his heartbeat and breathing gradually stopped, his pupils dilated... Outside the rescue room, the child''s aunt, she was kneeling at the door prayer. Not far away, the children''s parents, they sit on the ground in a daze.

　　 My heart is tied together and I can’t bear to say cruel words to the child’s parents. I hesitated and pulled up my aunt who was kneeling on the ground and whispered to her, "I''m sorry, the child is gone, we tried our best, and we didn''t save it."

　　 Tears dazzled from the eyes of the child’s aunt Out. I paused and then said, "You are the child''s aunt. At this time, you need to be strong. You go to comfort the child''s parents. Some things you say may be better than me. You also understand the child''s situation. Epilepsy , Originally controlled very well, but this time they favored the so-called traditional Chinese medicine prescription, and stopped all anti-epileptic drugs at once, this is a taboo for the treatment of children with epilepsy, so the status of epilepsy today appears , It was too late, and it took 40 minutes outside to rush to our hospital..."

　　The child’s aunt nodded, she turned and walked to the child’s parents...

At the end of the corridor, the three men cried together and burst into tears. The crying seemed even more miserable against the background of the night. The child’s parents stumbled towards the rescue room, rushed to the child together, and wept together...

　　 This story is already a thing of the past, but it still makes people sad when it comes to mind. The child is suffering from an incurable disease, and the parents love the child. He dreams that he hopes to find the best way to help the child heal. This is understandable. However, if the parents do not maintain a sensible mind at this time and do not understand some basic common sense of the disease, the child not only does not receive good treatment, but is also easily deceived. What is more terrible is that the sudden withdrawal of the epilepsy medicine will cause the child to continue to explode and cause brain edema. Without timely treatment, death will occur. The child in the above story is so sad. Such a thing is not uncommon in the clinic.

　　 Nowadays, river and lake scammers use their parents'' psychology of "don''t have side effects" to cheat. They displayed advertisements such as "promoting the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and eradicating children with epilepsy!" and so on, so many parents took a trial attitude to treat it, but they were fooled.

　　 For example, a child was well controlled after six months of treatment in our pediatrics. However, parents felt that their children had been taking Western medicine for too long, so they inquired about a “specialized hospital” for epilepsy. The hospital "claims" that the medicine used for treatment is a pure Chinese medicine preparation. The parent took the child. After the child stopped the western medicine and took their Chinese medicine, there was no convulsion. However, gradually, the parents found that the child''s intelligence began to decline, the action was slow, and he was drooling when speaking, which was anxious, and took the child to our hospital again. We tested the "Chinese medicine preparation" brought by the parents and found that it contained three anti-epileptic western medicines, which were used in overdose. Only then did the parents know they were fooled.

　　 What I want to tell the parents is that this disease is not as terrible as thought. In order to better understand the concept of epilepsy, we can compare the brain to a computer connected by electrical circuits. Brain cells are connected and communicated by electrical impulses. However, when the circuit is abnormal and abnormal discharge occurs in the brain, Will cause seizures. However, the plasticity of the pediatric brain is stronger, and the convulsion itself causes less damage to the immature brain than the mature brain, so as long as there is no refractory cause and no neurological defects before the convulsion, as long as the early reasonable treatment, more than 90% of children can get Good control.

　　Controlling seizures is currently mainly treated by oral antiepileptic drugs (Western medicine). Except for a few people who need to take medicine for life, most patients gradually reduce or stop the medicine after several years (usually 2 to 4 years) to achieve clinical cure.

　　 Parents should pay attention to that if the child is ill, they must consult a neurologist in a regular hospital for regular follow-up. Do not stop taking the drug privately.
