Question
My son is 9 years old and has been in good health until recently when he was diagnosed with possible epilepsy. As a parent, I want to learn how to care for my son with epilepsy and what precautions I should take in daily life.
Answer
Epilepsy patients should avoid strenuous exercise, overstimulating intellectual activities, and high-risk activities such as working at heights or driving. Their diet should be simple and avoid smoking, alcohol, and excessive eating to maintain good living habits and emotional management. Additionally, they should avoid prolonged exposure to screens and watching stimulating films to reduce the risk of seizures. The above are some suggestions for self-management for epilepsy patients, which I hope will be helpful to you.
