Question
What are the precautions for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The precautions for pediatric epilepsy include maintaining adequate sleep, avoiding the consumption of strong tea and coffee, as well as foods and beverages high in caffeine, such as chocolate. The diet should be light, with less salt and more sprouts, while supplementing trace element manganese. Additionally, it is important to prevent constipation or diarrhea to maintain optimal physical condition. In hot weather, it is necessary to cool down immediately and try to reduce the stimulation from sound and light, as these stimuli may trigger seizures in a few patients.
