5 Month old having Seizures after immunizations

Fri, 04/15/2005 - 05:26
When I had my son's immunizations at his 4 month check-up he had a adverse reaction and had a seizure 20 hours after that lasted approximately 10 minutes.  He has had a total of 9 seizure since February 20th approx 1 week apart but a couple of weeks ago he had a really bad week and had 4 in a week.  The all lasted approx 10 - 20 minutes.  They vary from either his right side or left side.  He starts with his arm and it looks like he is just jerking it and can't stop, his face sometime draws a blank and other times he is cognitive sometime it goes to the leg other times it starts in the leg and moves to the arm.  The doctors are talking about putting him on meds but I am quite apprehensive because I feel the drugs are very strong for a baby and I don't want him to be like a zombie.  If anyone can give me some insight on drugs that might be easier for babies or opinions about drugs versus no drugs I am willing to listen.

Febrile seizures can be frightening for a child's caregivers and parents, but nearly all children who have a febrile seizure recover quickly and are healthy afterwards. Most children (greater than 90%) who have a febrile seizure will not go on to develop epilepsy. Genetic factors. drop cards
