My dad has complex seizure that is often triggered by stomach upset. He is being treated with tegretol. Recently he became dizzy and off blance. When he went to his doctor, the doctor said he has ear wax build up and they had to remove it. When the wax was being removed in one ear, my dad had a complex seizure. The doctor stopped and had him set up an appointment with an ENT specialist . Since the one ear was cleaned my dad has had a upset stomach, seizures, dizziness and just not feeling himself. What do you suggest?
Hi, Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. Complex partial seizures respond well to medications such as regret. Please ensure he is on adequate dosage (10-20 mg per kg body weight per day), which means if he weighs 60 kg, he should be taking 600 mg at least. If his seizures are not under control, it can be increased to 1200 mg. He should be regularly taking the medicines, and should not skip it, for best results. In addition, he should sleep for 7-8 hours at nights and avoid any major stress/tension. I am sure, his seizures can be brought under good control. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
