My son, only 22 months was in ER for febrile seizures. Further test on EEG machine detected another seizure not caused by fever. On amocillian for ear infection and now Keppra for 6 months observation. Still concerned because medicine side effects are strong and not reccommended for children under four. When I question the Dr. they say they have in their experience treated children the same age range with the small dosage twice of day (1.5 ML). No grand Mal seizures since leaving the hospital but notice an absence seizure when getting the discharge papers. Scared because babies can't communicate if they are suffering side effects except for crying. He hasn't been eating or sleeping well or he sleeps too much during the day. The Dr.'s say he is getting used to the medicine. Any advice appreciated dealing with a young child.
