Therefore, people with winter epilepsy should take certain precautions to reduce seizures. Keep warm and remove moisture. Epilepsy prevention
The room will be drier after heating in winter, so you should drink water in moderation. When there is a large area of snow in the north, the roads can become slippery and the snow can make the ground bright and reflective. Therefore, epilepsy patients should be accompanied by relatives and friends as much as possible when going out, pay attention to non-slip, wear non-slip shoes as much as possible, and add more clothes. People with photosensitive epilepsy who are sensitive to light should take care to wear brown or dark-colored sunglasses.
In the south, noticeable cooling is often accompanied by rain and snow, especially when the environment is wet and cold. There is no heating in most parts of the south in winter, so patients in the south should pay more attention to wearing more clothes and keeping warm. Although patients should not eat spicy and irritating foods, ginger syrup and hot water can be added appropriately to keep warm and dehumidify. Avoid overeating. When it comes to eating, it is important to avoid overeating, as overeating is also one of the causes of seizures. Eat a reasonable diet, don't overeat, focus on a light diet, and increase the intake of protein and fat appropriately.

At the same time, you should increase outdoor activities, bask in more sun, and maintain a happy mood and stable mood. Regular rechecks: Pay attention to regular re-examinations of electroencephalogram, blood routine, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, etc. Further clarify the changes in physical condition during the course of taking the drug, and adjust it in time if there is any problem. Avoid staying in an oxygen-deprived environment.
Although there is less travel in winter, it is necessary to go home, buy New Year's goods, and visit shopping malls during the Chinese New Year. When returning to China, patients should take care to minimize long-term stay in crowded, oxygen-deficient environments, such as poorly ventilated train station waiting rooms or crowded airport waiting environments. At the same time, when visiting shopping malls and buying New Year's goods, you also need to choose a time when there are fewer people to avoid crowding, which may lead to the occurrence of disease symptoms.
