Short term seizures

2020-05-24 14:33:27
My son keeps getting very short duration seizures. He will do shivering like movement for around 2-3 seconds (with his mouth open) and will be completely normal after that. No specific time when he died this. This is completely random and he will do this around 2-3 times a day.
