Does Using Meth Prior To Conception Cause Seizure To The Child? What To Do For Epilepsy?
My granddaughter had a seizure Oct 30th. I rushed her to the ER, they said it could be epilepsy. Her mother used meth 6 moth prior to conception. Could that have caused her to have the seizures. I am beside myself with worry and what to do. She has not taken her to the neurologist as of yet. What should I do?

Dear it is strongly recommended that you take contact with a neurologist and is more important that the patient do EEG and if it isn't conclusive a brain MRI has to be done.Send as the result of the examination and we be more specific about diagnose and treatment.Wish you all the best
