[|Human|] My son is 2 1/2 years old, he got seizures in his right hand,mouth and eye(as the movement is there in these parts) while he was sleeping.He is very active and no complications during pregnancy or at delivery time. Did CT Scan, EEG(15 mins)- reports were normal. Used Eptoin Syrup 5ml for 1st 1 week(TWICE) and then 2.5 ml for the second 1 week (TWICE) and next 1 week only ONCE and stopped. For 2 nd opinion, we went to another DR. he said to have EEG for 1 hr after which he said - there is no problem but have some minor things and asked us to use Trioptal syrup for 1 atleast year. I m worried about the sideeffects and my son s growth in terms of mentally, physically. Is there any chance to get the seizures once again? Pease help!! Thanks, Srilatha
[|AI|]  Hi dear, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. You can not see on the CT scan detail brain structure, you should perform MRI brain with epilepsy protocol. Focal seizures can not occur without causes. There are next causes of Focal seizures:-trauma; -structural problems of brain; -infection. Focal seizures are usually treated during at least three years. Don't stop treatment. Better use Carbamazepin syrup, discuss it with your doctor. Medicines can cause delay development :cognition or motor. It depends on from person to person. Hope I answered your question.
