Patient's question:
How to solve recurrent childhood epilepsy? My friend's child is only 3 years old and has epilepsy. It's been a long time, and the condition hasn't been treated yet. Each time the seizure occurs, the child's body twitches and loses consciousness. What kind of assistance is needed: How to solve recurrent childhood epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of epilepsy is very frequent, so parents need to prepare for daily treatment and care. When a child has a recurrence, they should support the patient and gently help the child epilepsy patient fall to the ground to avoid the child falling and getting injured. Next, before the child's lips are tightly closed, place a handkerchief or gauze between the child's lower teeth to prevent biting the tongue when the jaw is clenched, avoiding further injury. Additionally, if the child epilepsy patient has already fallen or is lying face down, quickly turn the child over to prevent respiratory obstruction from recurring. It is recommended to seek further detailed examination at a specialized hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. The patient should establish a good living routine, maintain regularity in life, engage in appropriate light physical labor, but avoid overexertion and stress. In terms of diet, provide highly nutritious and easily digestible foods, eat more light, vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits, and avoid overeating.
