Good afternoon,
What type/s of seizures is he having. Is he on any antiseizure medication?
If so, has it helped?
Take care,
Jake

Hi, Good Evening
I understand you are new here. Be very welcome to this very supportive group at Mayo Clinic Connect where members help one another and we learn a great deal together.
I am very sorry to hear about your child, and I can imagine how hard this has been for you.
What kind of doctor has been treating your child: neurologist or epileptologist? Are all his seizures convulsions?
Please tell us more so that we can offer you our helping hand.
Kind regards,
Chris

Yes, if you haven’t already, please try to get your child evaluated at an epilepsy center and one which studies epilepsy in children. Depending upon where you live, this may not be easy, but I think that, it will lead to more effective treatment for your child. And likely save you time and worry in the long run.

I am very sorry that your family is having to deal with this. This group is an excellent place for support and education. The Mayo Clinic and Epilepsy Foundation websites are two other sources to learn more about seizure disorders.

Video a seizure and show it to an epileptologist specializing in childhood seizures for a full evaluation.

I pray you find a "quick fix" and this gets behind you fast. Stay positive, you'll get there.
