Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I am sorry to hear about your child's condition and setback. But I would like to reassure that the condition is not too bad and out of control. The good things is that she was under control with just one drug and the attacks are not many even after stopping. The drug your doctor has started is a very good drug. I would suggest you to continue the same and what you must understand is that some children can take really long until there seizures get under control. So be patient and carry on what you have been doing. That's the best you child can get now. Take care.
