Question
My younger brother has had epilepsy for three years. As his sister, I see it and feel it in my heart. What are the daily precautions for epileptic patients?
Answer
Hello, epileptic patients should actively cooperate with treatment in their daily lives, taking medication on time and in the prescribed amounts, and avoiding certain foods (such as beef, dog meat, donkey meat, chili, etc.). Smoking is strictly prohibited, and alcohol should not be consumed. Additionally, it is not advisable to watch programs that are easy to excite or sadden or those that are stimulating (irritating), nor is it recommended to spend long hours using computers, playing video games, or using mobile phones. Avoid attending large fireworks shows to prevent being startled and triggering an episode. At the same time, prevent colds, high fevers, fatigue, hunger, overeating, and excessive sexual activity. Maintain an optimistic mood, build self-confidence, and conquer the disease.
