Hi, Thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Does your child have motor delay?
What does her EEG report and MRI suggest?
If such a patient comes in my clinic I would start Levetiracetam for her epilepsy control. The EEG report also guides regarding the choice of drugs.
I would also start for her speech therapy and occupational therapy for her developmental issues.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
