Yes. It can cause some side effects. So they will do some tests periodically like once in 3 months. Be under regular follow up with your doctor and report him if any side effects are there. It's one of the most common drug used for seizures. So dont worry.

Yes there are side effects of valparin, it depends on dose and duration.
If your child's seizure is well under control then u should continue it, here the benefit is far more then mere side effects.
Next Steps
So please continue valparin with regular follow up
