Patient's question:
At home, the four-year-old child does not know how to get epilepsy. The doctor said it might be due to brain damage possibly caused by birth injury. Now, the child often appears dazed even when he is fine. During the dazed state, his hands and feet slightly tremble, and he also drools. Currently, the child is being treated with a small dose of antiepileptic medication. I want to know what dietary precautions should be taken for children with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child suffers from epilepsy, which should be caused by birth injuries. Epilepsy is a brain dysfunction and endocrine disorder resulting from abnormal discharges of brain neurons.Recommendations:
Treatment should be based on medication and should not be stopped arbitrarily. Pay attention to a diversified diet rich in nutrients, avoiding greasy, fatty, and spicy foods. Maintain good deep sleep, and avoid sudden temperature changes, colds, etc.
Wish the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
