Hello dear ,
I understand your concern. He can easily treated by following instructions:
-Don't miss medication
-Don't give him to watch TV during night time
-Treat fever every time because all these factors can precipitate to epilepsy
-after 2-3 years of treatment repeat do EEG, MRI
-If everything is normal the medication should be tapered gradually.
Hope it helps
