Hi Mr. lybrate-user. I hope you want to say Mirgi ki bimaari matlab Convulsions.
Your baby has small head size and convulsions. Also baby is recieving Epival which is a good anti epileptic drug. Your baby also underwent MRI brain twice. This all suggests that she has some organic and functional problems which is not good for me to guess without examining your child and going through all the investigation reports. So it is not possible to comment on prognosis of the disease.

How to care for your child with paediatric epilepsy?
Epilepsy is defined as a neurological disorder, which affects people of all age groups. However, the cases of seizures are found more in young children (likely to occur in as many as 4% of children) than in adults. It is still not known as to why a developing brain is more prone to seizures than a mature brain. A child is said to be suffering from epilepsy when they occur frequently.

Hello,
epilepsy management is a multi-disciplinary approach. A team of neurologists and neurosurgeons can assess if the condition is possible to cure via offering epilepsy surgery in select cases. Many cases can be controlled reasonably well with medications itself.

Good afternoon, first of all, seizure activity itself would cause great harm to the brain, hence the precipitating factor (here fever) needs to be controlled. N secondly, after frisium, the child may feel drowsy, it's a common side effect, she would get fine within 1-2 days.

Did she have a disease called epilepsy from before? If that is the case it happens because of discharge of uncontrolled impulses from the brain. It should be controlled with medicines and should not happen. She could also have a functional disorder or a psychiatric condition which causes these events with touching/kissing. Need proper evaluation. A psychiatric consultation may help.

Pl send reports if you have any/ also talk on phone by booking call. About 30 to 40 percent of epilepsy is caused by genetic predisposition. First-degree relatives of people with inherited epilepsy have a two- to four-fold increased risk for epilepsy. Diet and herb protocols may lower the frequency and intesity of fits and your doctor may reduce the medicine himself.

Epilepsy medicine has to be for life in allopathy. Some herbals, alongwith your current regimen, help improve the condition without interaction. Pl talk in detail by booking call. There are chances, say in few months, that your specialist observes improvements and decides to gradually reduce antiepileptic medicine. Pl book talk.

Every individual is different. The cause of seizures needs to be assessed and no one can tell how many seizures will be there. However, it's good you are in the hospital. They will be able to titrate the dose of medicine to control the seizures. Hopefully you are under the care of a neurologist.
