Patient's question:
Patient Age: My baby started having some seizures a few days after birth. They once had a fever, which lasted for several hours and then subsided. Now the little one has daily seizures, with fewer in the morning and a bit more in the afternoon, about 3-4 times a day. Some last for a few seconds, while others last for a few minutes. There is no white-eye reflex, and the face shows no expressions—just the seizures.Doctor's answer:
【Expert Answer】Hello, although epilepsy is a chronic brain disease, due to the lack of advanced technology and relatively low medical standards in the past, many people in society believed that epilepsy was incurable. However, with the continuous development of scientific research technology and the constant updating of medical models, targeted treatment for epilepsy based on its pathogenesis has been developed. This treatment activates damaged brain neurons, restores their function, balances abnormal discharges, and can completely prevent epilepsy.【Warm Reminder】Eat more nutritious and easily digestible foods, such as noodles, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk. In particular, consume more beans, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, as these are rich in high-quality protein and phospholipids, which help restore brain function and reduce the frequency of epilepsy attacks. Additionally, avoid fatty and greasy foods, as well as "allergic foods" as described in traditional Chinese medicine. Foods like goose, mutton, spicy dishes, and strong-flavored foods such as chili, garlic, and onions should also be consumed in moderation. Epilepsy patients should avoid extreme hunger or overeating and sudden, excessive drinking. Avoid overexertion and ensure adequate sleep—adults should aim for at least 7–9 hours per day, while children need at least 8–16 hours. Engage in moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, badminton, tennis, or table tennis, but avoid swimming, mountain climbing, diving, or cycling to prevent falls or traffic accidents during episodes. Limit screen time and completely avoid playing electronic games.
