My son is 3 years old. He had feburile seizure 2 times in a day due to high fever, just a month back. Doctor has suggested me to give valparin syrup for one year. Please let me know the side effects of it. I am observing restlessness in him. Whether it will effect his studies. I had taken admission in ICSE board. Whether he will be able to manage the studies. Also want to know whether the feburile seizure will have life long effect on my child. After stopping the medicine whether the side effect will remain or he will become normal as earlier.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Febrile seizures usually subside by the time the child crosses 6 years of agency reducing temperature by giving paracetamol and tepid sponging and treating the cause of fever is sufficient in febrile seizures. You may try Freemium orally for 2-3 days during fever to prevent seizures. Year long treatment with an anticonvulsant medicine like Valarie may be avoided as it is heat toxic. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
