Question
What should I be aware of if my baby has epilepsy? Today, while feeding my child, I noticed that the baby suddenly started having convulsions all over his body, which lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal. Could this be infantile epilepsy? What kind of assistance do I need: What should I pay attention to if my baby has epilepsy?
Answer
Ensure your baby consumes a diet rich in nutrients and easy to digest, such as bread, legumes, lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, and especially legumes, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. These foods are high in protein and phospholipids, which are beneficial for restoring brain function and reducing the frequency of epilepsy seizures. Additionally, limit the intake of greasy and heavy foods and avoid “inducing” foods as described in traditional Chinese medicine, such as less goose meat and lamb. It’s also advisable to consume fewer spicy foods like chili peppers, scallions, and garlic.
