My friends 3 yr old son just had over 4 seizures in less than 24 hours. ?

Take him to the ER: He needs to be taken to the er right away (preferably by medics) to evaluate him and ensure the seizures are treated as untreated, multiple seizures in a row, called status epilepticus, can be fatal.

Talk to the doctor: Frequent seizures need to be checked out right away for a cause and for best treatment. Parents should talk to the child's doctor and may well need a seizure expert to help out.
