absence/ petite mal seizures

My son is 2 years 2 months old and he has been diagnosed with absence seizures / epilepsy. During a seizure he rolls his eyes up and bends his head down and looses his balance a little but he never falls down even if he is standing. An episode lasts a second or two and happens 5 - 10 times a day. He is having these seizures since he was 15-16 months old.

An MRI and 24 hour EEG has been conducted on him. MRI exam is normal but EEG exam confirms absence/petite mal seizures. EEG exam revealed that he has seizures much more frequently than I have observed and has seizures even during sleep (I believe this increased frequency was due to the hospital atmosphere).

He was put on Trileptal(oxcarbazepine) 2 months back for 5 weeks but that did not help. Now his doctor has prescribed Depakote (divalproex sodium).

My son is physically normal otherwise. He is very shy and afraid of anything abnormal. Anything unusual on TV or unfamiliar person at home makes him scary.

I will be happy to provide any other information that you may need.

I believe Homeopathy can help and that will truly be a blessing from GOD in disguise.

Best regards and thanks.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

After study, I think that several doses of ZINCUM PHOSPHORICUM 1M may help your child. One dose per day and wait 3 before the next and post if any change in symptoms.
