Brief Answer:
You are on the right path.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your son's diagnosis and current medications.

He has epilepsy as per the EEG reports. Both valparin (sodium valproate) and frisium (clobazam) are good medications to prevent recurrence of seizures. The anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) should be continued for at least 2-3 seizure-free years.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
