Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The clinical picture is suggestive of mild developmental delay and epilepsy. EEG has also shown features of seizure disorder (epilepsy).

Your daughter requires anti-epileptic drugs to prevent the recurrence of epileptic attacks. Good drugs for her would include carbamazepine, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, etc.

I would suggest that you start one of these drugs for your daughter, in consultation with a neurologist.

Best wishes,
