Question
My child was diagnosed with epilepsy two years ago, and during an attack, they experience whole-body convulsions and drooling. We’ve been treating the child for these two years, and the seizures have become less frequent. I want to know what dietary restrictions epilepsy patients should follow.
Answer
There are no specific dietary restrictions to worry about. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to convulsions and other epilepsy symptoms. The treatment involves taking oral medication to control clinical symptoms, and it can also be treated with oral Chinese medicine and needle insertion therapy. We know that childhood epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
