Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

It is advisable to consult pediatrician immediately.

Your child need detailed clinical examination, depending upon it there may be need for following investigations -
- Complete Blood Count.
- CRP, ESR.
- Chest X-ray.
- Arterial blood gas.
- Liver function test. to know effect of valproate on Liver.

Depending upon clinical evaluation and above test results there may be need for hospitalization and further evaluation and treatment.

Antibiotics like cephalosporin with macrolid antibiotic may be helpful.
Like Ceftrixone with Azithromycin injectable if hospitalized or cefixime with azithromycin orally.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
