Should A Neurosurgeon Be Consulted For The Symptoms Of Epilepsy?

Hello!My wife had epilepsy during 1996 she was advised by Doctor valparin 200 and zolax.025mg. After three -four years she on her own stopped taking medicine, due lack of systems. now recently due to sudden fall and curement of head injury she again is having symptoms of epilepsy. Due to accidental fall she lost lot of blood.
my question is shall i start giving her the same medicines since the symptoms are the same, or consult neuro surgeon?

Hello,

Thank you for trusting HCM.
You should consult a neurologist first not a neurosurgeon, and its advised to consult the neurologist before she starts any medications.
hope that helped.
