How to treat sudden epilepsy in children

Patient's question:

Hello, the child had a fever and seizure when they were 3 and a half years old. The seizures occur every three months and have happened four times so far. It has been more than two years since the last episode. The child is now 6 years old, but at 1:30 AM on July 14th, when she was called to urinate, she had no response. She showed no sensation when tapped. She was then taken to the People's Hospital for emergency treatment. After being connected to oxygen, she gradually recovered. Later, she was transferred to Wuhan Children's Hospital for treatment. The examination revealed left frontal lobe discharge in the brain. The Children's Hospital has now confirmed the diagnosis of epilepsy. The doctors at the Children's Hospital said they would not prescribe medication, only to pay attention to diet, rest, and observation at home. However, the family is very worried about how to treat this disease?

Doctor's answer:

First, it is important to maintain a good mood and avoid the following as much as possible:
1. Heavy physical labor, excessive mental exertion, and intense sports.
2. Mental tension, sadness, worry, overexcitement, and lack of sleep.
3. Overeating or undereating, drinking a large amount of water at once, etc.
4. Alcohol, strong tea, and foods high in caffeine, such as chocolate.
5. Colds, fever, and other conditions can all trigger epilepsy attacks.
