My son 18 months old is having seizure since he was 1 month old. initially doctor gave him phenobarbitone. And after six months seizure free, he has a long seizure after which medicine was changed to levipil. He was seizure free for another six months but lately in last one month he has had three seizures. All his reports of eeg, mri, blood tests have been normal. We are a little confused about the situation. Should we consult elsewhere or continue with the ongoing treatment. Will he ever be seizure free?

Seizures reported early in life like before 1 year of age are long lasting and there are different types of epilepsy syndromes may be associated but maximum are benign type so don't be panic but continue the medicines and consult a pediatric neurologist as early as possible.
