Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. From your query, I understand that your daughter may be suffering from febrile seizures. It is a very common seizure disorder in child Chat Doctor. Usually it is limited to the age group of 6 months to 5 years. There is specific pathology for febrile seizure. As you did not mention EEG findings, it is difficult to predict whether it is febrile seizure or other type of seizure. In case of febrile seizure, antipyretic like paracetamol syrup and phenobarbital or option is enough. But if it is other types of seizure, Option can be given. I think your child may have calcium deficiency in addition to seizure.that's why your doctor added calcium with option. So it is essential to give option and calcium. Try to follow your doctors' advice. Hope this helps. Take care.
