Question
My three-year-old child has epilepsy, and recently, they have been crying and fussing for no apparent reason. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello: The child’s epilepsy attacks occur daily, and they always have nightmares when sleeping at night. It is recommended to avoid drinking cola, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, tea before bedtime. Maintain a regular diet, avoid overeating and irregular meals, and eat on time. The diet should be light and avoid spicy, fried, and greasy foods as well as strong alcohol that is difficult to digest and irritating foods. Increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, and fibrous foods and pay attention to improving the sleep environment to help alleviate the excited state of the brain. Additionally, develop good rest habits, avoid overexertion, relieve your own stress, and maintain a cheerful mood.
