Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. Yesterday, I suddenly fainted and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They found that I have epilepsy. Just now, my mom bought a watermelon, and I really want to eat it, but I don't know if I can. I wanted to ask you, can people with epilepsy eat watermelon?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is possible to eat watermelon if you have epilepsy. Watermelon is a fruit that contains vitamins and has no irritant effect. If you have epilepsy, medication treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor. It is important to maintain a calm mood, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid fried foods, grilled meats, spicy, and irritating foods, do not drink strong tea or coffee, and do not overwork.
