Healthy Instructions For Discharge Of Patient Diagnosed With Seizure
what may be health teachings for discharge planning for a patient diagnose with seizure?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
For a patient with seizure, these are the do's and don'ts:
1. Take medications regularly, without fail. This is because the commonest cause of recurrence of seizures is missing taking anti epileptic drugs.
2. Sleep adequately (7-8 hours) at night, as lack of sleep can increase the risk of seizures.
3. Eat food on time and avoid fasting.
4. Avoid stress.
5. Avoid swimming and driving for at least six months after the last seizure.
6. In case you develop itching or rash, stop the medications and contact your doctor.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
