Hi
You are welcome to HCM
At his age, febrile seizures are common.Anything that may raise a child's temperature at his age may cause siezure. Possible causes may include bacteria infection, malaria infection.Other possible causes of seizures may include: metabolic/ionic imbalances like low glucose, calcium, magnesiun, sodium.
Blood tests for infection and serum electrolytes test may help to identify the exact cause of his problem.I will advise
-Hospitalization
-healthy eating and enough rest.
-Anti-pyretics
-Anti-seizure to prevent recurrence.
-And an etiologic management depending on test results
Hope my answer will help you
Wish your grand son a quick recovery
