Suggest Treatment And Precaution When Suffering From Tonic Clonic Siezures
Brief Answer:
Ask her to stay away from fire, swimming or crossing the road alone
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic. I have gone through the problem and understand your concerns. But the cause of the seizures needs to be assessed. Electrolyte imbalance could be a cause, and I insist that you talk to your doctor and get the blood sodium, potassium and calcium levels checked. Since the MRI and other tests have been inconclusive, I would insist you to be patient and keep her in close monitoring so that she does not get into an awkward situtation if she gets another episode of seizure. Often Clobazam (marketed under the brand names Frisium, Urbanol and Onfi) is given for short term relief once or twice a day if seizures seem more likely. But let me mention that it is a prescription drug and you may take it only under the guidance of your treating physician.
