What kind of help is needed: What should be done about intellectual disability in children with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The longer the duration of a seizure, the greater the harm. Children with epilepsy may have intellectual disabilities. Based on their condition, they should receive systematic treatment at a local regular hospital. Epilepsy patients should eat more foods rich in vitamin E, such as carrots, sesame oil, peanut oil, eggs, bean sprouts, seaweed, and shellfish. They should also consume foods high in high-quality protein, such as eggs, lean meat, milk, and dairy products. In addition to helping children understand scientific treatment, proper daily dietary care for pediatric epilepsy is also very important.
