High Fever, Seizures. Given Encore Chromo. Treatment?
Sir, my kid is 9+, recently (a week back) she was running high temperature (105.4), she had two seizures one after another, we immediately removed her to the hospital. She was under oberservation for five days. Now she is OK The doctor has suggested Encorate Chromo 500 mg as daily doseage (morning and evening) This was suggested, after EEG report showed some waves which should not have been seen. This EEG was done within 24 hrs of the seizure. Please suggest, if the line of treatment and medication is correct. Thank you, please reply - Venkatesh

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your daughter is possibly suffering from epilepsy, which was triggered by fever.
Abnormal EEG is a favorable point for the diagnosis of epilepsy.
Encorate chrono (sodium valproate) is a good medication to prevent seizures in the future. The correct dose of encorate chrono is 15-60 mg per kg body weight.
