Brief Answer:
Please provide more details and reports

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Diagnosis of seizure or epilepsy rather than any investigation.
Seizure episode is characterized by tonic posturing, shivering like movement, uprolling of eyeballs, frothing from mouth, loss of consciousness, tongue bite or urinary incontinence.
It may involve one side or whole body.
Is there any investigations available like Mri brain or electroencephalography (eeg).
You can upload any reports if available.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.

We have done lots of investigations. Brain MRI is normal.All other reports are mostly normal.Only the liver is a bit enlarged and we are giving him UROSOL 300. Could he be having any worms or parasites in his stomach?

Brief Answer:
Get a second neurologist opinion

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Epilepsy can have associated abdominal symptoms and reports may be normal in many cases. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation. Other possibility may be conversion reaction.
If you are not convinced with the treating doctor then visit another neurologist for second opinion.
Upload any prescription or reports if available.
Abdominal worms may be detected by stool examination.
