Hi Sanwi,
Your daughter is suffering from Global development delay, which is due to perinatal asphyxia or sec to development abnormality . Whether MRI brain was done any time to rule out structural damage?
EEG is abnormal which suggest multiform epileptiform activity.Did the child throw any fits recently.Both the drugs can be given but ,it is better to increase dose of keppra. Consult neurologist for same Bye
