Question
A child suddenly appears to be dazing out while playing, with a blank expression and a lack of focus, before returning to normal within a few seconds, unable to recall the incident.
Answer
A sudden daze during play in babies might be a minor epilepsy seizure, and it requires EEG and brain CT scans for a definitive diagnosis. It is recommended that parents avoid overexerting their children, ensuring they get enough sleep, and not overplaying, as sleep deprivation may trigger or worsen epilepsy seizures. In terms of diet, it’s advisable to consume foods rich in vitamin D such as whole grains, fish, shrimp, eggs, and milk, as well as green vegetables to promote calcium absorption and supplement folic acid and vitamin K. Patients should avoid fad diets and maintain a balanced diet with comprehensive nutrition.
