Suggest Treatment For West Syndrome In A Child

Dear all, my baby is suffering from West syndrome which was confirmed by EEG(hypsarrythmia) and visual symptoms. He is now 7 months old. It all started when he was 6 months and we took him for immunisation. After the Vaccine he had fever and was crying incessantly. though the fever was gone in 1-2 days but these infantile seizures started. He is taking Sabril 500mg ( Vigabatrin) two tablets per day, valparin and Blong (B vitamin). since last 3-4 weeks but not much relief as yet. Your suggestions and feedback awaited. Rupesh

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, you are taking correct drugs for west syndrome. You have to wait for atleast 3 months before going for another drug. There are very few drugs for treatment of west syndrome, sometimes steroids are also tried. Keep patience, everything will be alright.
