It's hard to judge it on the Internet. I heartily recommend you to visit a paediatrician or, better yet, a paediatric physiotherapist who will immediately assess your child's neurological reflexes.
As I wrote earlier, taking carbamazepine during pregnancy increases the risk of malformations of the baby.
If you took the medicine while pregnant, you are associated with the above risks.
This does not mean that defects have to occur. Therefore, if there is something that worries you about your child's behavior, you should contact a specialist.
If the child turns his head from side to side in a quick motion when carrying on the recs, can you be afraid of something ??
Does this mean that he may have a speech problem?
But he eats normally and sucks on the bottle with no problem

The manufacturer states that the drug "may cause sucking difficulties in the newborn due to its sedative effect on the central nervous system."
It will not cause epilepsy in a nursing baby if you are afraid of it.
It may have some symptoms though?? Because I want to know exactly that, because no one can answer this question for me.
Can the child have any symptoms after this medication, want to know if he can be sick?

If you are planning to become pregnant, you should tell your doctor what medications you are taking. The doctor then decides whether to continue using them or whether to switch to other medications for the safety of the developing pregnancy.
The same goes for breastfeeding.
A medical consultation is necessary here. In your case, when using Neurotope, the carbamazepine contained in it penetrates into the blood of the foetus and into breast milk. Carbamazepine excreted in breast milk may cause sucking difficulties in the newborn due to its sedative effect on the central nervous system.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can take advantage of the teleconsultation here:

Taking carbamazepine during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of malformations. You are already pregnant, so I will not discuss the impact of taking Neurotope on the development of the fetus.
