I assume your son is being followed by a neurologist. It is fortunate that he is seizure free.

If you are concerned with his general well being he should also be followed by his pediatrician. Following a complete exam which will include his general growth and development, he may order a CBC, chemscreens, and other tests that evaluate liver and kidney functions as well as signs of infection or inflammation.
