Patient's question:
My child has had epilepsy for over a year. It was caused by a head injury and tends to recur. Are there any folk remedies for treating pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients should eat more acidic foods. Acidic foods provide the human body with rich Vitamin C and Vitamin B6, which help in the production of neurotransmitters and supplement the deficiency of certain neurotransmitters in epilepsy patients, especially those with primary epilepsy, as well as reduce the incidence of mental retardation. n The incidence of epilepsy in children is relatively high. If an epilepsy seizure is very brief, timely symptomatic treatment will never interfere with a child's intelligence. However, once epilepsy occurs, especially in a persistent state, the brain is overwhelmed with water, and neuronal damage is enhanced, which may affect intelligence. Some children become dull not because of medication, but because of the persistent condition of epilepsy. It is recommended that you take your child to the local hospital as soon as possible for thorough examinations and implement symptomatic treatment based on the patient's condition.
