Hi... I understand your concern. There are two possibilities here -
1. This could be an entirely normal reaction.
2. This could be a form of seizure. the only and best way of doing it is to take an EEG and get it confirmed or deleted from the options.
If I were your pediatrician I would get an EEG an right away.
