All present ctscan,hrctscan,mri and other reports like esr , creatinine are very normal.Doctor does not suggest any antibiotics .Can you opine for the therapy.What may be the probable medication.Thanks and regards.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. His current symptoms could be due to brain disease (tuberculous of brain). However, if you say that the MRI of brain is normal, then this possibility can be excluded. Option (phenytoin) toxicity or over dosage can also produce these symptoms. It can be checked in a blood test called as Serum Phenytoin assay.  Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
