Data is too less for starting anticonvulsant. We need to know details (were seizures one sided or two-sided, was there any fever, was there any altered consciousness, was there any weaknesses of one or more limbs). We need to check the child for any neurological impairment. We also need to get investigations done (EEG, MRI, metabolic screening etc). Seizures are of different types and treatment varies according to type
Next Steps
Please visit your nearby Pediatric neurologist for work-up
