Hello,

As mentioned by you that there are no new symptoms than the medicine should be continued for some time as per the neurologist opinion.

Also one should be aware that any haemorrhage happened in the past shouldn't be taken lightly and utmost care has to be taken.

It is good to hear that the kid is doing all good without any major symptoms.

Since Eptoin is an anticonvulsant medicine it has to be decided by the physical examination of the neurologist and if any convulsions do not appear than the neurologist may stop the medicine at the earliest.

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

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
