hi,
If your son had a seizure, then it is imperative that you continue the medicines without fail as the consequence of not taking the medication could be a relapse of the seizure. While this is one part of the treatment, the other part is to find out why he had the seizure in the first place, and if there is any correctible cause. This will require further tests which would be done by a specialist in this field.
hope this helps.
