Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
There a number of reasons for fits at this age.
I need further details
1. His case history did he cry at birth, was he admitted soon after, if so for what reason, his birth weight preterm or term.
2. If lab reports of sugar calcium magnesium and electrolytes are available please send a copy as attachment.
3. Any ultrasound head has been done.
Some causes are temporary and may not recur.
But some causes do repeatedly cause fits later in life.
It is not a permanent disease.
Curable with medicines.
Get back for further assistance.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
