Hi,
Your relative had seizure (fits) secondary to R) temporal calcified granuloma
He need to continue the same medicine as planned
He should avoid driving for next 1 month after the onset of fits because 5o% recur within one month while on medicines
He can have normal diet (mixed).he should not drink as it precipitates seizure
He can play games and other sports except swimming for next 1months, during swimming for subsequent months some one should monitor him
Yes he can enjoy married life.Precautions to be taken are avoid fasting , sleep deprivation and drinking alcohol
Hope this will help you
