Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Mirgi known as epilepsy in medical terms.
Tremors or convulsions were present in your brother case , these tremors may be due to.
1 Epilepsy as your doctor prescribed right drug but drugs will take 2-3 days for its effectiveness . So once again consult your treating doctor and get his opinion as for combination of drugs for epilepsy or increase the dose of phenytoin sodium.
2 Brain tumor is the another cause of such tremors . Diagnosis can be confirmed by M R I ( 2nd time ).
3 Some drugs also develop tremors , so go for clinical history of ant medication currently before this attack.
In my opinion deal accordingly as above mentioned .
Good luck.
