Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your clinical situation is a quite common condition. For this reason, I recommend continuing taking antiepileptic drugs for seizures, considering the past medical history.
A prolonged therapy with anti-viral (acyclovir) is necessary to prevent from infection recurrences.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
