Child Having Fits / Seizures
What parents should look for during a suspected seizure, what to do, and when to consult a specialist.
“A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, and levels of consciousness. In children, seizures can range from obvious body shaking to subtle blank staring or muscle twitching.”
