Question
My child has had epilepsy for over a year now, and it’s due to a head injury. It always recurs. What home remedies are there for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy patients should eat more acidic foods. Acidic foods provide the body with abundant vitamin C and vitamin B6, which help in the production of neurotransmitters, addressing the deficiency of certain neurotransmitters in epilepsy patients, especially those with primary epilepsy, and reducing the incidence of developmental delays. This is particularly true for children with epilepsy. If an epilepsy attack is short-lived, timely symptomatic treatment will not interfere with the child’s intelligence. However, once the epilepsy occurs, especially in a persistent state, the brain becomes occupied with water intake, leading to increased neuronal damage, which may interfere with intelligence. Some children become dumb not because of medication but because of the persistent nature of epilepsy. It is recommended that you take your child to a local hospital for a thorough examination and implement symptomatic treatment based on the patient’s condition.
