Patient's question:
The children in my younger brother's family have always been very healthy, but for some reason, they suddenly got sick a few days ago. They came back only after a lot of effort, but ended up having a seizure and collapsing on the ground. After checking them at the hospital, they found out that they had epilepsy. Now, they are taking medication to control the progression of the condition. I was wondering if you could provide some insights.Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, medication should be taken. Avoid heavy physical labor, excessive mental strain, intense sports, and try to minimize mental stress, sadness, worry, or excitement. Maintain a regular lifestyle with a fixed schedule for rest and activity. Do not consume alcohol, strong tea, or foods like chocolate or raw garlic. Avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton, dog meat, chicken, etc. You can increase the intake of sweet foods. Daily foods can include dairy products, cheese, vegetable oils, or moderate amounts of animal fats, animal organs, eggs, kelp, shrimp skin, hairtail, as well as fresh vegetables, etc. Avoid overeating or extreme hunger. Do not drink too much water at once. Pay attention to preventing colds and exercising regularly.
