Question
How can one effectively treat a child with epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy patients should strive for a diverse diet and consume nutrient-rich, easy-to-digest foods such as grains, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, and especially those high in protein and phospholipids, which help restore brain function and reduce the frequency of seizures. Additionally, it is recommended to increase the intake of magnesium. Epilepsy patients often lack magnesium, especially those on long-term medication treatment, such as long-term use of phenytoin sodium, which may lead to osteoporosis. In addition to providing a high-calcium diet, attention should also be paid to magnesium intake.
