My friend's child was wrongly diagnosed as having a seizure. All the tests show she's fine, however, she's been in the hospital for over a week, and they're weaning her off the phenobarb. How long does it normally take? She was on a respirator for 3 days because of the meds she was given.
That is quite sad to hear, especially to be given a wrong diagnosis for a child. In any case, it depends on how much phenobarbital was taken. It usually takes about a week to a month, based on the dosage given. Sometimes even days, also depending on how the body metabolizes it.
