Patient's question:
It's because I ate some things I shouldn't have during my pregnancy that led to the child developing epilepsy now. Every time the child has a seizure, they lie on the ground and keep twitching uncontrollably, which looks very frightening.Doctor's answer:
Hello.① First of all, regarding diet, focus on light and easily digestible foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients. At the same time, avoid spicy and other highly stimulating foods, as well as quitting smoking and alcohol. Avoid getting cold, getting caught in the rain, and showering with water that is too cold or too hot. Maintain a regular diet, eat meals on time, and avoid hunger and overeating.
② Another key point is to develop good living habits, get enough rest, and ensure sufficient sleep.
③ Do not drink too much water at once to prevent triggering [a condition]. For those with more frequent episodes, activities should be limited to indoor settings, and bed rest with guardrails may be necessary to prevent falls.
