What Causes Febrile Seizure And Fever?

Good morning sir, My son is now 5 & half years old, he is on valparin for the last 3 years, 3 years before valparin was started as febrile seizure with fever occurred. Just after the completion of 5 years , our family doctor prescribed to stop valparin slowly . but just one week later after the dose was stopped , he again suffered from seizure. Now the fever was detected during the seizure only. Now he is prescribed to take valparin 200mg tablets twice a day His MRI report says that there is a slight problem since birth. EEG report also shows certain abnormality, but his behavious is 100% normal and he is living a normal life. Kindly suggest me what to do next?
