It will increase the risk of getting seizures.
No
You can't prevent the disease of existing if you already have it, but you can take medicine to prevent seizures :-D Hope the answer was satisfying :-)
Epilepsy comes from the Greek and means to seize, take hold of or attack.
That will depend on what they take and how much they take of it. There is no simple answer to that as a result of those factors. It may have no effects at all. Of course, it is not advisable for anyone to take medication that they have not been told to take.
the only thing to do it to watch the person and make sure they do not hurt them self .you will just let it take it's course
The cold medicine is an antihistamine so you are taking double the amount of antihistamine.
There are many kinds of epilepsy medication. Which one or combinations are suitable will depend on the type of epilepsy and the individual themselves. It can often take time for a patient to find the correct medication and dosages to properly control their epilepsy. What works well for one person may not work so well for another. Talk to your doctor.
They can, but it depends on the severity of epilepsy that a person has, so it is often on a case by case basis in terms of what activities they take part in while there. Everyone is different. A person can often know themselves as to where their limitations are, and doctors can also advise them.

For most people epilepsy is controlled by medication. The form and severity of epilepsy will determine what sort of medication is best for a person. It has to be done on a case by case basis, and that can only be done by a neurologist. For many people it may take a while to find the right dosage to use, and in some cases what combinations of medications are taken. Many people with epilepsy take more than one form of medication.
yes
There are quite a broad range of medications used, as each person that has epilepsy is different and epilepsy itself comes in many forms and levels of severity. The term epilepsy is really a phrase used to refer to a wide range of things that result in people having regular seizures. So what causes seizures for one person has no affect on someone else and so they are treated in different ways using different medication.
