Seizures after stroke

Question

Asked for Male, 26 Years

My father suffered from stroke where there was a infarct on right side of brain. After 8 months of stroke, he suffered a 2-3 minutes seizure. And then after 6 months from that, he got another seizure which went upto 10-15 minutes. We are doing everything prescribed by doctor like giving medicine, and other things. So, is there anything else which we should do? I have also read that having regular seizures increases risk of death. What we should do now? Attached is the latest report from hospital
