Hi doctor,My son is 14 years old. He got a seizure before 15 days during sleep for 10 to 15 minutes. His EEG and MRI are normal. His doctor suggested two options. They are either we can wait for the second attack or go for treatment Val-Cr 300 for three to four years. Kindly give your opinion. Thank you.
Hi. I have gone through the query. A person can develop two seizures without regaining consciousness in between or one episode of status epilepticus lasting for more than five minutes. Seizures occurring for 15 minutes requires treatment, and it needs evaluation like EEG (electroencephalography), MRI brain (magnetic resonance imaging), serum calcium and electrolytes, and blood glucose.
