Question

What should be noted when dealing with pediatric epilepsy?

Answer

In everyday life, the primary focus should be on the child’s personal safety to prevent them from being in dangerous situations during a seizure, such as near water or in places where they might be at risk of electric shock. Next, it’s important to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy. To prevent seizures, the following measures should be taken: maintain a regular lifestyle, get enough rest on time, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late or being tired. Eat a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and avoid drinks and foods that are stimulating, such as coffee, cola, and spicy foods. Quit smoking and drinking. Avoid taking medications containing caffeine or ephedrine. Take medication regularly and schedule regular medical check-ups.
