Impossible to answer: Infants can have seizures as a benign pattern linked to immaturity/fever or as part of a devastating metabolic disease. The best answers are derived from a proper history, exam and appropriate testing done by someone with the skills to do so.Start with your pCP/pediatrician and consult a pediatric neurologist if needed.
