She has leg pain at night time.Her latest serum valproic acid level is 115 which is slightly in toxic level.what to do now please suggest.
Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
It's good your child's seizures remain controlled, although the night leg pains and higher valproic acid levels need discussion. Night leg pains might signal low magnesium or calcium, so checking those could help explain it. To address the higher valproic acid level, adjusting that medication dose may resolve it. Follow up with your child's doctor about these symptoms and potential treatment changes. If any other concerns arise, don't hesitate to reach out to a neurologist for guidance.
