Suggest Treatment For Seizures, Bruised Eye And Sores On Body
Question: My daughter, age 50, had a seizure during the night two weeks ago. She somehow, while in bed, got a bruised eye, and she still feels sore all over. She has problems with bipolar/borderline personality.
She let her doctor know about it, but received no suggestions about duration of symptoms. Also, her teeth hurt, but it is not a dental problem.

Brief Answer:
No new medicines are needed as of now, unless she gets another convulsion.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Seizures can be triggered by a number of factors. The importance varies depending on the underlying cause. The mentioned symptoms are sequele of a convulsion. As of now, I do not think that you need to panic. Chances are that she would not get another. However, if another episode of convulsion ever occurs in the near future, I would insist you to get an EEG done. It is only thereafter that antiepileptic medication would be suggested. I would not suggest intake of any specific medicine as of now. But the psychiatric medications need to be continued with due diligence.
The dental problem might have occurred due to the grinding of teeth during the seizure. It is hard to comment on it without a proper examination. A visit to a dentist would not only help in identifying the cause but also will give you proper ways to deal with it.
Feel free to ask me back in case of any further queries.
