Patient's question:
My little niece has been experiencing convulsions this year. The doctor has confirmed it as epilepsy and said she needs to take medication for 3 years. However, I am worried about the potential side effects of the medication on the child, and I don't know if it can be cured. Are there any other options?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ketogenic diet can be considered for children with epilepsy. This requires the decision of the parents and the child's ability to tolerate it. The ketogenic diet is currently the most effective but also somewhat harsh method for treating children's epilepsy, requiring timed and quantified dietary control. Many parents give up because they feel too sorry for their children.Advice: It is recommended to consider the ketogenic diet method and follow a full dietary course. If it doesn't work, medication control is still the better option.
