Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My son is suffering from Sandhoff disease. Please give a solution.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern. Your son will develop a seizure and you need anticonvulsants for it. This can range from Valproic acid to Levetiracetam to control it. It usually is controlled with medications alone. However, I am sorry to tell that the Sandhoff disease is progressive and you cannot halt it from progressing but you can control the symptoms of seizures. Keep him healthy of infection because most common complication of this disease is a respiratory infection that leads to their problem.
