In case you are suffering from epilepsy, ensure that you adhere to the doctor’s prescription regarding your medication. It is still important to keep taking medicine even if you do not get many seizures as this will help reduce chances of more occurring. Medication manages seizures; it does not cure them though. Always remember that it is necessary to consult a neurologist before changing any of your drugs.

BUT SIR I HAVE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS OTHER THAN EXCESSIVE YAWNING AND SLEEPY FEEL

Male | 18

Excessive yawning and feeling sleepy even when there are no other symptoms can sometimes be due to lack of proper quality sleep. It is also linked to the feeling of being slightly down or the deficit of air. Try going to bed earlier and have a good sleep routine. Get outside for a breathe of fresh air each day to be active a little more.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution

Male | 42

The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

my daughter is one and a half years old. he has fits & breathing issue. born in the 8th month.

Female | 1

Your daughter's bre­athing issues might indicate seizure­s. Prematurity raises risks for such problems. Young childre­n can have seizures from fe­vers or brain conditions. See a pe­diatric neurologist for evaluation and treatme­nt. Staying composed and documenting seizure­s aids the doctor's understanding. Seizure­s in kids sometimes stem from various re­asons like high temperature­s or neurological factors.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?

Male | 70

Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.
