Frequently Asked Questions

What causes seizures in children? ▼

Seizures can result from epilepsy, fever (febrile seizures), infections, head injury, metabolic conditions, or other neurological causes. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for proper treatment. Dr. Tamara Zach MD specializes in evaluating and managing pediatric seizures.

When should I take my child to a neurologist for seizures? ▼

Seek immediate emergency care for a first seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, repeated seizures without regaining consciousness, or any seizure in a child under 6 months. For any first seizure, a follow-up with a pediatric neurologist like Dr. Zach is strongly recommended.

What is the difference between epilepsy and seizures? ▼

A seizure is a single event of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy is diagnosed when a child has two or more unprovoked seizures. Not every child who has a seizure has epilepsy, which is why proper evaluation is important.

How far is your Phoenix office from Carefree? ▼

What should I do if my child has a seizure? ▼

Stay calm, keep your child safe by moving hard objects away, place them on their side, and time the seizure. Do not restrain them or put anything in their mouth. Call 911 if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or if this is their first seizure.
