My son had seizures after his birth for 3 times between 1 month to 6 months and doctor prescribed gardenal and calcium syrup and advised to continue for 3 years morning and evening. After 3 years we stopped medicine and he didn't get any seizures for almost five and half years but all of a sudden recently he got one in the month of april and we went to Dr. and he said it was because of fever not to worry but again in the month of aug he got seizures again and this time we changed Dr. and he took mri of brain and in report it is mentioned suggestive of mesial temporal sclerosis. Eeg we tried many times but my son didn't allow to do he starts crying. His development is very slow still 6 years of age but speech and learning issue. Dr. has advised following medicine for brain development and seizures: neuciti plus nicerbium attentrol lacosam pls advise about the treatment and his overall growth. Why is he so slow in development of we compare him to other 6 year child.

Hello, the slowness of the child is due to developmental delay either due to hypoxia or inherent brain formation. As you. Have not mentioned any details about his behaviour its difficult to pin point the cause of slow development, but I feel that medicines may not help him and I will tell you why. Of course he does require lacosam in correct dosage to control his seizures so that he does not have recurrent seizures. Frankly personally I feel that neuciti plus and nicerbium are not going to help him. As far as attentrol is concerned it is used in attention deficit syndrome with hyperactivity, as no details about his other behaviour are mentioned I will not like to comment on this. I suggest that you consult a neurologic institute for children for correct guidance like aiims delhi, nimhans bangalore or any other closer to your place of residence.
