Hello,
If I was your child's pediatrician then I would treat him for at least six months with sodium valproate at the appropriate dose and then repeat and an electroencephalogram.
If this is normal I will gradually decrease the dose and stop otherwise I would continue for a total of 2 years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
