HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, underlying cause of convulsion is matters here if it is due to some cerebral lesion then it need to be managed accordingly, if this is the late on set of grand mal seizure then he need to have medicine for long time in absent of these disease differential diagnosis would be the next step then, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
