Common cause of Seizure in children

A child having a convulsion might stiffen, jerk around and fall unconscious. Her eyes might roll back in her head. See your GP if your child has convulsions, and call an ambulance if a convulsion lasts longer than five minutes. Convulsions are also called fits, seizures or epileptic attacks.
