Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your son may be having an absence seizure. It is a type of seizure where there is no jerky movements of the body but only staring look. As he also has a history of febrile seizures, please get an EEG done immediately and consult a pediatric neurologist to start anti-seizure medication if necessary.
