Patient's question:
My colleague's child is a little over 6 years old. I don't know where they were playing when they got scared and developed epilepsy. I want to visit the child, buy something for them, and ask what they need to pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has epilepsy and is in the recovery phase, it is important to first focus on strengthening nutrition. Eat more nutrient-rich 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 high in protein and rich in phospholipids, which can help restore brain function and reduce the frequency of seizures. Additionally, avoid fatty and greasy foods, as well as foods considered "pathogenic" in traditional Chinese medicine, such as goose meat and mutton. It is also best to limit spicy foods like chili, onions, and garlic. Avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and never binge drink or eat excessively. Ensure adequate sleep, aiming for 8 to 16 hours. Engage in moderate exercise.
