What is the situation if you are diagnosed with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my daughter is over five years old. Yesterday, while she was playing with toys, she suddenly fainted, followed by twitching of her hands and feet and foaming at the mouth. This situation scared me, so I quickly took her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with epilepsy. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is no specific medication to cure this disease. Taking medication is just to control symptoms. It is necessary to use anti-epileptic drugs appropriately and under the guidance of a local doctor. Pay attention to environmental safety and avoid high-altitude activities. Do not ice skate to prevent recurrence and potential dangers. Avoid eating trigger foods to prevent the condition from worsening. Do not eat mutton, spicy food, garlic, scallions, or hot pot.
