Patient's question:
Previous treatment and effectiveness: After the first episode, I was hospitalized for a week, and all the necessary tests were conducted, but no results were found. The doctor recommended electroconvulsive therapy, but we didn't do it. The last episode occurred a year ago. After presenting the situation to the hospital, the doctor prescribed phenytoin, which I took for a year and have not had a recurrence since. Initially, phenytoin was taken three times a day, later reduced to twice a day, and two months ago, it was further reduced to once at noon.Doctor's answer:
Eat more nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods, such as noodles, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk, especially more beans, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. These high-protein and phospholipid-rich foods are beneficial for the complete recovery of brain function while increasing the frequency of epilepsy seizures. Additionally, eat less greasy and fatty foods, as well as foods considered "pathogenic" in traditional Chinese medicine. Duck and mutton should be consumed in moderation, and spicy foods like chili peppers, onions, and garlic are also best avoided. For severe epilepsy patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not use medication blindly to avoid worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only.
