Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of Epilepsy is more likely in your son.
MRI is usually normal in Epilepsy.
But history of headache, vomiting, seizures etc are suggestive of Epilepsy.
And epiliv (levipil) is safe anti epileptic drug for children.
You should definitely start this drug to prevent future seizure attacks.
Also get done EEG (electro encephalo gram) to identify the cause for seizures.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
