General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He may need an EEG to take a look at his brain waves. The EEG would be able to determine the type of seizures, possible prognosis and may also give an indication about the type of medication that may work best.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
