Mostly if the lesions have cleared the chances of seizure recurrence decrese with time. The chances of having a seizure are likely to be very minimal now.

As per your history you didn't have any seizures and its more than a week now. You can stop all the medications as they may be of no benefit. Wishing you a speedy recovery and stay safe

Hi thanks for your query. I am dr akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi.
Anti epileptic drugs are known to interfere with bone metabolism and can lead to osteomalacia etc due to which you can have lethargy, tiredness and bone pains. Please get your dexa scan and serum calcium and vitamin d levels and send it across to me so that I can see and advise accordingly. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
Thanks & regards

Best treatment can be outlined by your consultant neurologist. It is not the question of best treatment. It is important to select the most effective medicine, in single or in combination, that is required for your son and that will be done by a neurologist. So please follow his advice. If eptoin has kept your son's seizure under control over last one year, I feel, he is under able hand.

Blood from nose is a dangerous sign, you have to c doctor and have a scan of the brain, just to make sure everything is allright. Do not delay, all the best.
