Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The seizures in your child can be controlled with medications such as sodium valproate, carbamazepine, or levetiracetam.
Hyperactivity can also be controlled with medications such as methylphenidate.
For co-ordination and balance problems, he would benefit from physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
