Doctor's answer:

You have had another episode of post-traumatic epilepsy. First, it is important to identify the specific cause that led to the recurrence of epilepsy. For example, if it was due to head trauma, the primary focus should be on treating the head condition. Once the underlying disease is treated and improves, the epilepsy will gradually recover. However, it is also necessary to use a combination of many antiepileptic drugs for maintenance therapy. After the condition is well-controlled, it will be necessary to gradually increase the dosage.
