Patient's question:
Sometimes I notice the child's head is trembling, and the child is always afraid that this situation will be seen by others. When he is quiet, I must comfort him with my hand a few times. Do something, otherwise I'm really afraid that something might happen to him. So, can children with epilepsy be active? What kind of help matters: Can children with epilepsy be active? Will the child be in danger?Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy should avoid foods in their diet and should not engage in strenuous activities. Although parents hope that children with epilepsy can enjoy the physical exercise and joy brought by sports just like other children, the children can participate in physical exercise, but the amount of exercise should be moderate and they should not go to dangerous environments. It is best to have a parent accompany them. Many sports may indeed be too intense or physically demanding, making them unsuitable for children with epilepsy to participate in, such as group gymnastics or group dance. If a particular sport is likely to be too intense or highly competitive, which may trigger an epilepsy attack, it should be avoided as much as possible.
