Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I will suggest her to take prophylaxis treatment for atleast 3 months continuously to get some free interval. And for acute attacks tablet headset is useful. Avoid the aggravating factors like noise and much light and also some foods which will increase the frequency. Thank you.
