Parents, be aware of the new child seizure epidemic. Child seizure cases due to medication exposure have surged, doubling from 1,418 cases in 2009 to 2,749 in 2024. A new study found that children prescribed first-generation antihistamines, like diphenhydramine, have a 22% higher risk of seizures compared to non-users. Kids aged 6 to 24 months are 1.5 times more likely to suffer from seizures after taking these meds, likely due to their developing blood-brain barriers. What’s even more concernin

Charley just had a 3 minute seizure. So happy it stopped on its own. Once again I wasn't able to get talk to an neurologist because it was after hours. Luckily Charley oncologist is the one on call after hours this week and we just saw her today and talked about changing some of her meds up. So I was able to get her on the phone and we decided to give Charley one of her meds a little earlier. Charley Neurology appointment is tomorrow. I have a feeling they aren't going to like me very much! Also
