It is most likely post traumatic seizures. More common in children. You can get admitted for observation. If the child gets another episode then seizure medication has to be definitely started. It will be for a short course and then stopped.

If there is history of post traumatic seizures will need to be started on antiepileptics medication.
Also may need an mri brain for further evaluation
