My son is nearly 3 years old and has been epileptic since he was 7 weeks old. He is on 5ml epilim twice daily and as he has got bigger it has got more difficult to give him his medication as he doesnt like it. Will the epilim work in the same way if it is slighty watered down so I can give it to him as a "juice" instead of medicine ?

I have a 3 yr old brother whos been epileptic since he was weeks old. Obviously, its a genetic thing, because I have it also.
My mother went through the same problems with giving him his meds- and so she mixed it with his favorite juice. The doctor said it would be no problem, as long as he drank every last drop.
Good luck! I know how difficult 3 yr olds can be!
