HI
Eptoin 100mg is an anti-convulsant or anti-epileptic given to control seizures though not all types of seizures.With a normal scan, i can not explain your's reason for prescribing eptoin but some indications for drugs are judged clinically.However, the fall and the injury you sustained were not the initial reasons you went to the hospitals.You went for high fever.Eptoin will not treat any cause of fever.If i were your treating Doctor, will rather concentrate on the fever after relieving you of your pain from the fall.Fever could be caused by many medical problems and only laboratory investigations can help to bring out an exact diagnosis.I will advise you get the CBC test with a blood culture.These two test may help identify the cause of fever.You may see your Doctor again for reevaluation.
Hope my answer will help you
