Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It sounds like a febrile seizure. This is a seizure that occurs in association with a significant increase in body temperature.
The tightening of his body, fixing of his eyes in another direction are in keeping with a seizure.
These seizures can be called simple or complex, most are simple seizures.
A simple seizure is one where the seizure involves the whole body , lasts less than 15 minutes, it is not caused by any infection of the brain and the child has no history of any neurological conditions.
In this case no specific treatment is needed.
He should be taken to see his pediatrician for assessment to determine the source of the infection and initiate appropriate treatment.
I hope this helps
