Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pediatric neurologist for your child. Possibility of absence seizure is more likely. So he will need EEG (electro encephalo gram) and MRI brain. If EEG is showing abnormal foci then he should start anti epileptic drug. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
