Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Your child is on antiepileptics including sodium valproate. So was a liver function test ever done.

Since valproate can cause hepatotoxicity a liver function test should be done to rule out hepatotoxicity and if there is elevation of liver enzymes like SGOT and SGPT then we should change the drugs or modify their dosage.

So consult your doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
