What Causes Neck To Turn Right And Hand Towards Left Involuntarily?

My son is 12 yrs old. On 29/07/14 at around 14 hrs, we have suddenly noticed that his neck turns right and his left hand turns towards left and become stretched for few seconds (max 5-6 sec) in standing condition and becomes normal after that. The same thing has happened twice on 31/07/14 and once on 01/08/14 (last). We came to know from him that this type of disorder happened also 6 months back but we were not reported. We went to Doctor (neurologist) and as advised MRI brain and EEG was done. There was nothing in MRI of brain but EEG shows some disorder. Accordingly Dr has prescribed a medicine named DESVAL ER 500 once daily for 6 months. Thereafter we went to another doctor (neurologist) , after going thru thorough check he has prescribed ESLIZEN 400 once daily for a month and reporting after one month. We have started ESLIZEN 400 yesterday only and please advice .

Hi,
Thankyou for your quiry..
Since your child is having problem of epilepsy,and it has to be treated according to doctor's advice.As for how long he is getting seizure ,it is not noticed ,and now you should continue the medicine as perscribed by your doctor ,to be seizure free and accident free,as seizure can happen anywhere ,anytime where sometime no care can be possible and child can be accident prone like biting of tongue,head injury after falling and incontinence etc
So continue the medicines as perscribed by neurologist and follow accordingly.
