Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns. It seems that your nephew had first episode of generalised seizure. It's very important to go for electroencephalogram (EEG) to check the reason for seizures. Also, a family history of seizures, certain drugs and electrolyte imbalances, perinatal risk factors can predispose a child to seizure disorder or epilepsy.

I would recommend you to take him to a paediatric neurologist for complete physical examination and lab evaluation. He may even start certain anti epileptic drugs to prevent any further such episodes.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be glad to help you with any future health related question.

Take care
