Hi,

I guess his reports including sugar, calcium, sodium and EEG and MRI (brain) were normal. Also we need more details like any trouble during pregnancy and newborn period and similar illness in family.

If all these are normal, you need not worry now. Just continue gardinal as your doctor advised. We can't be sure that it will not recur. If recurring we may need up-gradation of drugs and few more investigations including repeat EEG (electro encephalogram) at a later stage.

Also, keep a close watch on his developmental milestones. If you feel he is not gaining milestones as expected, get back to your doctor for more detailed evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
