Hello.
I have read your message.
Ideally, if the child has had a seizure as a reaction to a metabolic problem or due to a reaction, the antiepileptic may not be needed.
However, as seizures can have drastic effects, I would suggest meeting a neurologist with all your reports and investigations before stopping the medicine on your own.
Best wishes, Dr Mittal
