Answer: Hi Adefunke and thanks for using Wellvis

Seizures are an emergency sign in children and the child needs to be seen by a doctor They usually arise from different conditions which could be metabolic like low blood sugar infectious like malaria or meningitis chronic illnesses like epilepsy or others like trauma

Depending on what is causing the seizure that will determine the treatment Some treatments do not require anticonvulsants but treatment of the underlying condition like giving glucose in low blood sugar Some treatments may have to be life long to improve the quality of life in conditions like epilepsy

It is also important if the child is having recurrent seizures to identify any triggers like flashing lights loud noise hunger etc as well as any factors or conditions related to the seizures Another thing to note is to keep the child away from a harmful environment like flames stairs and being unattended depending on the age
