Patient's question:
My colleague Xiao Li has epilepsy. When he has a seizure, it looks quite terrifying, but when he's not having a seizure, he's just like us normal people. Xiao Li has been taking medication all along. One day, we went in to have dinner together, and Xiao Li wanted to eat fish. I didn't know whether someone with epilepsy like him could eat fish, and what precautions to take in terms of diet.Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with epilepsy can eat fish. In daily life, pay attention to avoiding overly spicy and irritating foods. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and avoid smoked, stale foods. When patients face epilepsy troubles, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical visits. If epilepsy does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
