Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached reports.
Definitely EEG is abnormal which suggests he has epilepsy or seizure disorder.
MRI is normal as you mentioned, so there is no structural problem in brain.
It is because of abnormal signals which come from brain that cause seizures.
You need to continue topamac as advised.
Some kids may need more dose which has to be decided by your neurologist over next 6 weeks. Review with him, if seizures show no improvement he will increase dose gradually.
Treatment is correct, follow up frequently.
For fever you need to get blood tests done as it is there for a week.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
