Question
How should one handle a child experiencing symptoms such as eyes rolling up and temporarily losing consciousness?
Answer
Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharge of brain cells, and the main treatment method is medication, with no specific treatment available at present. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid excessive sugar intake and spicy foods, and to refrain from consuming foods that may trigger epilepsy, such as lamb, dog meat, roosters, and carp. Additionally, strong alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should be completely prohibited; pepper, chili, mustard, scallions, garlic, and other spicy seasonings should also be limited in quantity. These recommendations apply to the treatment and dietary management of pediatric epilepsy seizures.
