Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Following a headinjury there will be concussion of brain and there will be chances for seizure in future.
Anti epileptic drugs like eptoin or levipil prescribed to prevent seizure in future.
It may be stopped after four to six weeks.
Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
