Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your son's history and current medications.
His current symptoms are most likely brief episodes of seizures. Please continue the current medications for about three months, as any change in medicines takes some time to show the complete efficacy.
If symptoms persist, you can get an EEG and MRI brain done to further evaluate the causes. Then, a change of medicine, if necessary can be done.
There is no need to worry, as he would get better soon.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
