Q: my daughter is 19 years old. her epilepsy is controlled with medications and has not had a seizure in all most 3 years. can she go in a hot tub?

: If uncontrolled epilepsy, usual advice is NOT to drive, do activities at heights, operate power equipment, swim or take a bath alone. Glad she is controlled, but just to be fully safe, hot tub activities should be accompanied.
