Hello,
1. Without direct physical examination and history taking, I can't comment on the situation, but you have to consult a Neurologist for proper neurological examination and investigation since only then you have to be put on regular antiepileptic treatment.
2. I at most can let you know about the instructions which one has to follow with the epileptic patient:
- do not miss the treatment even for one day
- avoid places where convulsions can be dangerous: swimming, driving, climbing heights, work near moving machinery, standing in train or bus doors, work near the fire.
- drugs to be continued for at least 5 years after the last fit, & then slowly tapered off over 6 months.
- instruct all relatives about the possibility of recurring fits, if they see the patient getting convulsions, support him immediately and make him lie on the ground, then put a spoon or wooden ruler between the teeth and wait for convulsions to stop.
PS. If treatment is stopped suddenly, the rebound may occur and the patient may even go into status epilepticus, so remember the importance of taking treatment regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood
