Suggest Treatment For Frequent Seizures And Vomiting After Teeth Extraction
My brother has seizures and resently had multiple teeth pulled due to all the years of seizure meds. Since that he has no apptite, vomites his meds and his seizures are happpening more often. Other doctors thought it was constipasion and gave him multiple bowl meds. They did an xray and it showed no blockage in his bowls. he was doing better and got relased from the hospital but the next day it started again. Yesterday he had 6 seizures and what doctors thought was Todds paralisis. Can teeth extration (multiple) have anything to do with everything that is happening?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your brother's medical details. There is no link between the teeth extraction and seizures. However, if he is on certain antibiotics such as quinolones and cephalosporins, they may increase the risk of seizures.
We need to adjust the dose of anti-epileptic drugs, as per his body weight. Please get back with the medication list he is on at present.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
