Childhood febrile seizures can be epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea appeared one day after the onset of convulsive symptoms, with eyes rolling back and purple lips. The symptoms lasted for one to two minutes, followed by a vacant stare and then a state of lethargy without fever. Brain CT was normal. Three months later, the same symptoms occurred again. Is it epilepsy? There is no history of epilepsy in the family. How should this condition be prevented and treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the child's condition, is there a possibility of calcium deficiency? Suggestions: It is recommended to test blood calcium and other electrolyte levels to see if there is vomiting and diarrhea, which may not rule out the possibility of electrolyte disorders. It is recommended to identify the cause or etiology and actively treat it.
