Hi,

The diagnosis is confirmed to be epilepsy. It needs long term medicines. It is possible that the child may get a few seizures even while on medicines. There is no need to worry. Please review with the doctor to get the dose adjusted. In some cases, a new additional medicine may be added.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
