Patient's question:
Hello, it's summer now, and some fruits are in season. I wanted to buy some fruits for the children in my aunt's family, but they have had epilepsy for 2 years. I don't know if they can eat strawberries.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to dysfunction of brain function. Before treatment, it is essential to identify the cause and determine the type for targeted therapy. Blind treatment cannot cure the disease. Epilepsy is fundamentally a chronic brain disorder, so it is recommended to choose a professional epilepsy hospital for treatment.Recommendation: Treatment for epilepsy should be conducted in a formal hospital. Most antiepileptic drugs have antiepileptic effects. These drugs work by reducing the excitability of brain neurons to achieve antiepileptic effects, but they cannot activate cells. Moreover, long-term medication can lead to excessively high blood drug concentrations, not only failing to control seizures but also increasing the frequency of attacks. Each seizure results in damage to brain cells.
