Hello Doc,
My 3 yr old son slipped and fell in the bath tub on 28th dec, went into concussion...and then on he's started having myoclonic seizures doctor has started his medication of keppra(0.5ml twice a day initially) seemed like didn't work as he had couple of long duration seizures early in the morning apart from little body jerks(1-2 sec).Now doc has increased his dose to 2.5ml twice a day and for the last one week we c he's really better, sleeps well, no little jerks and he's active and normal as before. Initially we did some aggressiveness in him....but we don;t c any side effect. Does it mean that the medicine is doing its job? will he outgrow it after 2 yrs of seizure free on medication. His ct scan was normal but his eeg has single abnormal waveform with frontal lobe predominance.He's scheduled to have an MRI on 27th feb. Can u pls tell us.. how he's going to respond all this.. will he be able to get rid of it and if his medication and treatment is going in the right direction.

Thanks
