Hi, Keppra(Levetiracetam) is a good drug for seizures. If your child has seizures despite taking this drug consistently everyday, then you should consult a pediatrician. Get an imaging done again and the child will have to be started on either a different drug in form of Valproate or phenytoin. Or the dosage of Keppra will have to be increased. Keep Midazolam Nasal spray with you as it will help to abort the seizures at any time.
Thanks and regards.
