Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your father's clinical details. He is on correct treatment. Sodium valproate (Encorate) would prevent further seizures. Tolvaptan (tolsama) would help increase the sodium levels.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
