Patient's question:
The child usually goes to kindergarten, but today they suddenly received a call from the teacher saying the child had a sudden seizure and was drooling, which was very frightening. I rushed to the kindergarten to pick up the child to get treatment. The result was that the child was diagnosed with epilepsy. What dietary precautions should be taken for epilepsy on a daily basis? What can and cannot be eaten?Doctor's answer:
For epilepsy patients, there's nothing particularly special about their diet, except that they should eat less salty foods in their daily life. According to traditional Chinese medicine, a strong appetite can lead to an excessive accumulation of phlegm and dampness in the body, which can easily trigger epilepsy attacks. Additionally, there are also mental stimulations that can cause epilepsy seizures, as emotional stress can also lead to such attacks.
