Respected Doctor, My daughter was born as a normal child but at her 11th Month was suffered with meningitis fever and shunt process has been done due to several cell damage.All these 15 years Now she is Bedridden who couldn t speak and all her foods in liquid state only. Sir the problem is all these 15 years she had a frequent fits and it was more than 25 times a day till last 6/7 years. After consulted with another Neurologist here in Salem. he adviced us following medicines:- somiel 1mg thrice a day, encorate chrono 500mg twice a day, levipil xr 500mg twice aday & oxetol 300 mg twice a day. Even she suffer 4/5 time a day by fits. Now our major issue is in recent time of 2 months she make noise by shaking her head as well opening mouth too. The same doctor said this is due to behaviour problem and suggest to increase oxetol 450mg from 300mg and feeding accordingly past two weeks and now i can say that she is some what ok. Dear sir, is there any other medicine to control her fits. please advice as our whole family was desperate all these years. Please advice. thanks. Joseph.
