Get an appointment with children’s hospital my grandson has it he is 13 now they will figure out what kind of seizures he is having and go from there. Also don’t know where you are located but Tennessee has hospital that can prescribe cbd oil for children not all states will allow the use unless prescribe by doctor lots of legal issues if child is hurt and not prescribed and you have taken them off prescribed medication we found out the hard way unfortunately.

My daughter was diagnosed with BECTS epilepsy at age 4. It is a form of childhood epilepsy that most children grow out of by puberty. She is 8 years old now and still medicated daily. Her seizures normally happen while she is asleep though. We are hopeful when she goes back to the neurologist next summer her EEG will be clear and the meds can be removed. There are so many different forms. I am not sure what type your child will be diagnosed with, but just wanted to share my story :blush: I hope everything will be okay!

It looks a lot like small “harold” patches. I get them whenever I have a virus. If so, they go away with the virus, and are harmless.

Look into cbd oil, Charlottes Web specifically…it is completely legalized
