Hello,

Suggestive of childhood seizure. To rule out absence seizure. Based on the history, given your son seems to be suffering seizure which could be due to recurrent seizure as he had two episodes of febrile seizure at the age of 3 and 5. He needs to be evaluated by a pediatrician/neurologist and to rule out absence seizure by doing EEG (Electroencephalogram) and other tests.
