Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
At that high rate, I would, as a doctor admit her and treat her again till her seizures are well controlled
If there is no response to the medications, it can mean one of the following things
1.The antiepileptic medicines have to be adjusted till the appropriate dose is reached for the patient. till then the seizures can continue.
2. The type seizure may have been wrongly identified. Till the right type of seizure is identified, the wrong medicine will be given, and hence seizure will continue.
3. there may be some triggering event causing the seizure. Till that is removed, seizure may continue.
4. The diagnosis may be wrong entirely, patient may have pseudoseizure (unlikely in your child)
You really need to contact your
neurologist and get her admitted and scanned. EEG and
MRI need to be done. A correct diagnosis of the type of seizure need to be made and the appropriate medicine and its dose need to be achieved.
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
