Child convulsions, eyes wide and stiff - what is the condition?

Patient's question:

A child who is 18 months old has convulsions when crying intensely, with their eyes wide open and staring straight ahead. After about half a minute, they vomit the contents of their stomach and gradually regain consciousness! I would like to ask about the possible causes of this condition.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The child is experiencing convulsions, rigidity, and vomiting symptoms, with a high possibility of epilepsy.
Advice: Based on the symptoms, it is recommended to undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, preferably a sleep EEG. Monitor the child's symptoms closely. Avoid taking the child to dangerous places.
