Hi,
Thank you for your query,
As your child developed seizures after DPT vaccination and controlled with the treatment given by your doctor, you continue the syrups of phenytoin and valproate a per your doctor advise.
For the next vaccine schedule you should inform to your doctor regarding the seizure after the DPT vaccination, so that the doctor will advise you for DT or acellular pertussis containg vaccine DPaT in the place of DPT.
Hope I have answered your query.
