My child with 3 years of age got febrile seizure like two febrile seizure in 24 hours. In the begining he was taking levetiracetam (1.5 ml) twice a day.
After eeg report, my doctor advised me to increase the dose by 0.25 (1.75ml) now and also changed the syrup to Levipil.
He started taking levipil in the month of August. Now today the date is 28 January. It's almost 6 months from now.
My doctor advised me to continue the syrup .
Shall I continue the syrup or reduce the quantity or should I give one time.
Please suggest me with your precious reply.
My mother told me that I also got seizure but she didn't even gave for any syrup. I am totally confused what to do in this situation. As almost everyone told me to consult another doctor if the child is ok. Earlier my doctor told me to continue for 3 months after eeg she said continue for more 3 months then we'll do another eeg. but now she is not interested in eeg rather she is simply saying to continue the syrup for another 6 months.
