What Causes Recurrent Seizures?
Hi. My 12 year old son has been having intermittent seizure for the past one week. He will suddenly begin to jerk his neck violently to one side, having blurred vision and the hands and legs becoming stiff. We initially thought it was high fever. So he was treated for malaria. A few days after the malaria treatment, the seizure came back. Please what is the situation called and what can we do?
