what is the management in such case ?
you saw that your 6 years old doughter had 2 episodes of convulsion that each lasts for about 10 seconds so its not an enough evidance to start giving the baby anti convulsant drugs without further investigations
what are the helpfull diagnostic tools ?
at firs the past medical history and detailed description of the nature of the whitnessed attacks then an EMG test might be performed and at last the MRI scan of the brain is used to rule out any structural brain abnormailty that might cause convulsion ( you also might use a focused camera that is directed on the bed of the baby to record the convulsion attack in case if it happens to be seen by the doctor )
what are the signs and symptoms of convulsion attacks ?
what is the advice ?
if you are certain about what you saw then you should visit the pediatrician for the right diagnosis and the correct treatment
