My Mother Got Paralysed On Her Left Side After Had Brain Stroke 11 Years Ago. She Is Not Normal. How Is It Cured ?
My mother 66 years old had brain stroke 11 years ago and her left side paralysed. She recovered in three months and since then taking Amca AT for BP, Mazatol and eptoin regularly. Whenever she has acute cold or fever , she gets fit (seizure). After a day of such fit, she remains mentally disturbed and hyper in nature and becomes quite after 24 to 30 hours. What tablet or medicine should be given to her after fit so that she may sleep peacefully and her brain remains calm. Kindly suggest.

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. Your mother is suffering from post-stroke seizures. Eptoin is a good drug in elderly.If the dosage is inadequate some times can continue to have seizures.After each fit they may have confusion and psychosis which is not safe. So consult a Neurologist and take his opinion. If required change the medicine or add another medicine for fits. If fits get controlled she will not have problems like this. If not we have to give antipsychotics to control her mental disturbances. I hope i made it clear. Bye
