My 3-year old granddaughter is on levetiracetam for seizures. However, it has never been stated what is causing these seizures, how long she ll be on this medication, etc. Should they be decreasing the dosage? Should there be monthly medical follow-up? Should they be doing further testing to see what is causing the seizures?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is an important question, and one has to find out the cause of seizures, to decide how long to give the seizure medications. Common investigations required to determine the cause of seizures are MRI brain-epilepsy protocol and electroencephalogram (EEG). If both are normal and there is no family history of epilepsy, then, it is labeled as cryogenic epilepsy. In these cases, at least three seizure free years are required before we can stop the seizure Chat Doctor.  The
