Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
MY DAUGHTER IS 8 AND HALF MONTHS OLD. WE HAVE BEEN OBSERVING HER FOR THE LAST 50 DAYS THAT SHE, AT TIMES, MAKES HER HANDS AND LEGS STIFFED FOR SOME SECONDS AN RETURNS TO NORMAL ACTIVE NATURE. EEG RESULT WAS ABNORMAL AND MRI SCAN REPORT WAS NORMAL.THE PEDIATRICIAN WHOM WE TAKE HER FOR VACCINATIONS ADVISED US TO GIVE SODIUM VALPROATE FOR 3 YEARS(1 ML EACH 2 TIMES). WE HAVE TAKEN HER TO A NEUROLOGIST WHO PRESCRIBED EPTOIN FOR 15 DAYS (2.5 ML IN THE MORNING AND 2 ML IN THE EVENING) FOLLOWED BY THE REPETITION OF EEG.WE HAVE BEN CONFUSED AND HAVE NOT STARTED GIVING HER THE MEDICINE.WHICH MEDICINE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PREFER CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE BABY? KINDLY REPLY
as sodium valproate is less preferable in child below 2years due to fear of liver malfunction.start eptoin and if seizure are controlled with eptoin then continue with it
