A school teacher informed me that my daughter who is 11 and has had difficulty with regular schooling, is having 15 - 30 sec unresponsive episodes. She is having them I understand once every few days. I have never seen this myself. What is the fist thing I should be thinking?
Hi, First, you should do some investigations such as an EEG with hyperventilation to exclude petite MAL epilepsy. If your daughter had this type of epilepsy, she would take Ethosuximide 250 mg, and she should take 250 mg for three days then 250 mg for three days then 250 mg three times per day. Then she should do liver function test, serum Chat Doctor.
