Is this child having a seizure?

Patient's question:

Generalized tonic-clonic seizure (grand mal): Sudden loss of consciousness, followed by severe pain with tonic and clonic phases. Often accompanied by screaming, bluish complexion, incontinence, bitten tongue, foaming at the mouth or blood foam, and dilated pupils.

Doctor's answer:

According to your child's condition, it is considered to be epilepsy, and the condition is relatively severe. Have you previously experienced this with your child? Has your child had a history of head trauma or other medical conditions? To effectively treat your child's epilepsy, it is necessary to determine whether it is primary or secondary. If it is primary epilepsy, the likelihood of spontaneous recovery is high. If the epilepsy is caused by another condition, it is necessary to first treat the underlying condition for it to be effective.
It is recommended to take your child to the pediatric outpatient department of a large hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo relevant tests such as a head CT scan and brain Doppler, and clarify the cause before taking further measures.
