My 5-year old daughter who was otherwise healthy had convulsions and fits for the first time two weeks ago. Although she recovered from the Convulsion within a few minutes, I am worried in case what he has is Epilepsy. Kindly advise me.

Since your daughter was well before the convulsion, epilepsy cannot be ruled out. Having said this, I will suggest a visit to a Paediatrician who will run some tests for daughter.
