Febrile seizures
My son now 9 suffered a seizure when he was 3 years old. It happened when he had a high fever. He is taking valparin syrup 2.5 ml t.i.d. Last year we had an egg and doctor told to continue for some more time. He has never missed a dose. How long should he take this? Is there any chance that seizure may occur?

Whether a seizure will recur or not and for how long to continue medication depends on a lot of factors.
As your child required an EEG and is still on Valparin, more details about his history, examination and reports are required to give any further comments.
It will be best to consult a pediatric neurologist and plan future treatment.
