Question
Can a four-year-old epilepsy patient eat dragon fruit?
Answer
It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as sweets, as these may trigger seizures. Additionally, the patient should reduce the intake of salt and fluids, as excessive fluids may accumulate in the body, leading to seizures. At the same time, the consumption of foods high in zinc should be limited, as long-term use of anti-epileptic medications may lead to zinc deficiency symptoms.
