Good morning sir, My son is now 5 & half years old, he is on valparin for the last 3 years, 3 years before valparin was started as febrile seizure with fever occurred. Just after the completion of 5 years , our family doctor prescribed to stop valparin slowly . but just one week later after the dose was stopped , he again suffered from seizure. Now the fever was detected during the seizure only. Now he is prescribed to take valparin 200mg tablets twice a day His MRI report says that there is a slight problem since birth. EEG report also shows certain abnormality, but his behavious is 100% normal and he is living a normal life. Kindly suggest me what to do next?
As far febrile seizure is concerned there is no need of any anti-epileptics up to 5 years of age, because febrile seizure will remit after 5 years. Your held may actually not suffer from febrile seizure as u had his MRI is not normal, because in febrile seizure EEG and MRI should be normal.
