What Is The Treatment For Seizures In A Child?
Sir,
my 1.5 yrs daughter fell down hitting her back head & had convulsions which lasted for less than a minute. Doc did EEG & confirmed she had seizures. The paedetrician gave her Epilex syrup & absolut (2.5ml, twice a day). Is Epilex a safe drug or it has any adverse effect on liver. Should i do something else. Please advice

For that you should keep close watch on liver function.
You can take second opinion of pediatric neurologist if available.
Other alternative medicines can be tried.
