Hi,

He could be suffering from abdominal migraine which is characterised by stomach pain which is dull accompanied by either of the two symptoms: anorexia, nausea, vomiting and pallor.Usually NSAIDS and triptans are given. I suggest you discuss this possibility with your doctor. Take care!

Hello.

The doctors have prescribed Keppra probably because they stil believe it is a seizure. An absence of any abnormality on the EEG does not completely rule out seizure.

Alternatively, he could have Migraine. And the visual symptoms may be the aura before the headache.
