Hi,

Thanks for your query. We would have appreciated if you had informed us about the diagnosis at discharge. Seizures can occur for a good number of reasons and it is not possible to discuss all of them here.

Birth traumas and metabolic causes are the most common form of seizures in the immediate neonatal period. It is advisable to continue with Eptoin till the treating pediatrician is comfortable with the status of the child. I suggest that you discuss with your pediatrician and also get a serum ionic calcium level done.

Wishing your daugher an early recovery.
