Hi My child is 11-months old she has febrile seizure on jan 02nd. On jan 13th she has seizures without fever and doctor said she has seizure disorder and given the medication epitoin syrup 3 ml morning and evening . After taking the epitoin syrup also she has again seizures on Jan 18th with 2 episodes. Now they have given epitoin syrup 3.5 ml and levetiracetam 0.7 ml.

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, and requires long term treatment. Sometimes, it may be lifelong also. There are good anti epileptic drugs available. Eptoin (phenytoin) and levetiracetam are safe and effective medications. I am sure your child will improve and would become seizure free soon.
