Should we be worried about my four-month-old nephew's upcoming brain wave test (EEG) after he was found to have abnormal electrical activity on the right side of his brain, what are the risks for him while taking Levera syrup three times a day, and how can we recognize what a seizure looks like in a baby?
An EEG is a safe, painless test that simply records your nephew's brain waves. Levera (levetiracetam) is a safe, commonly used medication. Some babies may experience mild sleepiness or irritability while taking it. In infants, seizures can be quite subtle. Look out for repetitive, unusual movements like lip-smacking, rhythmic jerking, "bicycling" leg motions, sudden body stiffening, or brief staring spells where he does not respond to your voice or touch.
