No: Tia has only temporary symptoms, but needs full evaluation. You did calm him down, that makes him feel much better. Follow up with his doctor.

No: How are you supposed to know what a TIA looks like? There will be other things happening in the future that you won't recognize. This is part of life and how we learn on a day to day basis. Best thing to do is to provide support, prompt attention...And perhaps encourage everyone in the family to take medications as prescribed, exercise and follow good dietary discretion.
