Second opinion: I suspect your doctor feels that the seizures are not serious enough to admit to the hospital. Some babies will get very toxic when ill with vomiting, headache, tremors that appear like seizures. They will usually respond to sedation and fever medications and appropriate treatment of the illness. Ask your doctor to explain the situation and if not satisfied request a second opinion.

Pain treatment.: Unfortunately here is no simple answer to this question, and the treatment may be entirely appropriate. Because of your concerns you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately trained provider.

Needs eval: 9 seizures in a few days is very concerning. Your child needs a neurological evaluation.
