My now 7 years old son had meningitis when he was 6 weeks old. He had couple of seizures when he was in hospital. He was fine until 5 years. Then seizure came back. Since then he is in Keppra. Even though we are increasing Keppra dose with his age and weight, still he is having 3 to 4 short seizures each day. Now I'm at a point to see another doctor for second opinion. Can you suggest me what can I do next?
Hi irinh, and welcome to Connect! You are not alone! There's another mother in this discussion who is also looking for answers. I'll summarize your question and ask Dr. Tatum during the Q&A. I also wanted to share these other videos with you:
