Go to ER: Without other information that is suggestive of a seizure. 10 minutes is not short-but quite long. You must seek medical attention for him immediately. It must be determined why and treated quickly

Notify your doctor: Based upon your description, we need to consider a focal seizure. An EEG test could clarify, but MRI of brain should be included. A neurologist could guide you.
