Few clarification I would like to know 1.When did seizure started ie at what age.
2.seizure is with loss of consciousness or only movement
confined to one half of body.
3.where is the ring worm infection brain or gut.
4.what is the latest mri report.
5.How is the status of seizure control.
See controling a persistant seizure is tough and if any how it is controlled with these medication continue it.Regarding the couse of seizure if it is after brain injury and recent MRI does not show any focal lesion then continue these medication and if it is due to foal lasion then it should be managed simultaniously
If these seizure is due viable ring worm cyst in brain there these to be managed with its medication.
