Hello,
I have noted your husband's clinical details. He needs to undergo MRI brain- epilepsy protocol to determine the cause of epilepsy. Medical treatment with appropriate anti-epileptic drugs is important. We also need to ensure compliance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar
