It depends on how his body is in taking it. So he will not have to use the medication any longer. If the body is healing the body then he doesn’t have to take it anymore.

Answer:

In the given case, it is important that the medications should not be stopped suddenly, however, it should be reduced gradually. For a patient suffering from seizures, a protocol has to be followed that is used to wean a child of anticonvulsants slowly as sudden withdrawing of the drug could lead to a seizure.  

The discontinuation of the drug takes place slowly as the child becomes seizure-free for two years, and possess an EEG within the anticipated limits. Anticonvulsants cannot be ceased suddenly at the two-year follow-up visit, however, the discontinuation process can get initiated.

<h3>Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) :</h3>

The fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii is the source of the dangerous infection known as pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). The majority of PCP users have a medical condition like HIV/AIDS or take medications like corticosteroids that make it harder for their bodies to fight infection and disease.

Typically, doctors use TMP/SMX, also known as trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, to treat PCP (Bactrim, Cotrim, Septra). You will either receive them as pills to ingest or through an IV at the hospital, depending on how ill you are. Typically, PCP treatment lasts 21 days. Depending on the medications used, whether you've experienced prior PCP episodes, the severity of the sickness, the status of your immune system, and other factors, you may respond differently to a treatment.
