Hi.....grand mal epilepsy is extremely unlikely in this age group. The most common causes did seizures in this age group are low calcium in the blood Or low blood sugar level or low magnesium level or low oxygen supply to the Brain for various reasons. Please trust your doctors as I feel that they are right in asking for some blood investigations and also scan of the brain.
