Dear Mr/Ms
Hallucination are not equivalent yo convulsion. Hallucination is different from convulsion and is perception of one of the five senses inspite of absence of stimulus.
Hallucination will require further evaluation , cause could be due to brain pathology.
Consult your pediatrician for further assessment.
Take Care
