Hi. My child had another seizure. He suffers from epilepsy. He has frequent drop seizures and, after the first one, I gave him a helmet to wear, to protect his head. What is causing all these seizures?

Hi. Abnormal electrical discharges in the brain are causing the seizures. However, some medical problems can be the cause of seizures as well, such as low blood sugar, infections, a head injury, poisoning, or drug overdose. Brain tumor and a sudden lack of oxygen to the brain can also be the cause of his problem. In some cases, the cause remains unknown. My brother had a seizure and the cause was never found. Unprovoked seizures are associated with epilepsy and seizure disorders, while provoked seizures are not.
