Hello Doc, My daughter had febrile convulsion for the first time when she was 2.5 yrs & was put on Valparin 200 syrup. That year she had convulsions thrice (always with slight fever) always after a gap of more than 3 months. As she grew the gap between the convulsions also increased from 6 months to 8 months & by God s Grace coming April 2014 she will complete 2 yrs without convulsion. During these years she had undergone several EEG Tests & MRI thrice & they found some abnormalities (though not major). She is a very beautiful child aged 8+ yrs, weight 22+ kgs,(tall as compared to same age children) a normal child –speaks, walks, sings, dances, cries, gets angry, expresses emotions, recognizes –even roads & a very active (infact hyper active) child. But : 1) Does not sit at one place for long; 2) Does not / or cannot focus on one thing at a time 3) Does not follow instructions 4) Very stubborn at times. 5) Academics: Verbal – OK Written – Still unable to write A – Z without dots. This is her fourth school but she still is in the play group. She cannot take the pressures of the written work of the school. Probably due to Valparin, most of the above symptoms are side effects Kindly advise - 1) Can we further reduce her dosage; though she is on reduced dosage of 5ml twice a day (since 8 months now)? I shall be grateful to you. Thanking you in anticipation
