    Dear Danny 

    Thanks for your reply Nic is on a huge amount of meds on a daily basics all his meds go via his Peg Tube apart from the PRN Emergency meds when he has prolonged seizures. My son has no mobility and depends on me for all his daily needs.

    Tegotol 600mg twice day
    Vimpat 400mg twice day
    Zonsismide 75mg twice a day
    Kappa 25mg twice a day
    Omeprazole 100mg twice a day
    Desrepresin 30mg once day
    Donperdrom 30mls twice day
    Lactose 15mls twice a day

    Aspirin 75mg once daily
    Plus 
    PRN meds – Buccal Midazolam 10mg in 1ml for Tonic Clonic seizures lasting more than 5 minutes.

    Regards

    Hi @JaneNicsMum_34

    If you haven't already, you may like to check out Scope's information on drooling and bad breath in CP. It may also be worth speaking to a medical professional involved in your son's care as there may be specialist services that could help with this. Do keep us updated!
