Patient's question:
My brother is 5 years old this year. Recently, he has been staring blankly by himself and doesn't answer much. So, we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and it turned out to be epilepsy. I want to ask if there are any special dietary requirements? What kind of foods should be avoided with this type of childhood epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: Foods that children with epilepsy should not eatDoctor's answer:
Child epilepsy does not require a special diet. Mainly, it is important to avoid foods and foods high in sugar and salt. It is also necessary to prevent the consumption of foods that may trigger epilepsy, such as mutton, dog meat, rooster, wild duck, and carp. Spicy foods like chili, scallions, garlic, and mustard should also be eaten in moderation. Additionally, in daily dietary management of child epilepsy, attention should be paid to the intake of salt, water, and zinc.
