He has no actual signs of epilepsy.  First he was diagnosed with a high body temperature that supposedly gave him the seizures, in the hospital we were told they were called compact small seizures.  to date they treat him with topamax.  Could it be dangerous for the child later on?

Dear socorro,

 

We have answered a question very similar to yours in our Ask the Clinician column. Please see Topamax dosage for two-year-old child with seizures?
