seizure in a 3 yr old after fall in bath tub Posted: 02-11-08 19:17pm
Hello Doc,
My 3 yr old son slipped and fell in the
bath tub on 28th dec, went into
concussion...and then on he's started
having myoclonic seizures doctor has
started his medication of keppra(0.5ml
twice a day initially) seemed like didn't
work as he had couple of long duration
seizures early in the morning apart from
little body jerks(1-2 sec).Now doc has
increased his dose to 2.5ml twice a day
and for the last one week we c he's really
better, sleeps well, no little jerks and
he's active and normal as before.
Initially we did some aggressiveness in
him....but we don;t c any side effect.
Does it mean that the medicine is doing
its job? will he outgrow it after 2 yrs of
seizure free on medication. His ct scan
was normal but his eeg has single abnormal
waveform with frontal lobe
predominance.He's scheduled to have an MRI
on 27th feb. Can u pls tell us.. how he's
going to respond all this.. will he be
able to get rid of it and if his
medication and treatment is going in the
right direction.
