A member asked:

My 4 yr. old has seizures. how do i protect him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good health habits.: Many children have seizures with fever or when ill especially urine infections. Some have seizures due to poor sleep or poor nutrition. Most children will do very well and will outgrow the seizures if kept healthy and active and protected with appropriate medication.
