My daughter is 4 and while playing sometimes she still falls and bumps her head often. Can this trigger a seizure? If so would it trigger one at that moment of the fall and bump on head or could she have a seizure a few days after? I'm still unsure if flashing lights trigger hers but was told by an EMT that if if they did then it would trigger a seizure right then.
 
Seizures can be triggered from any cause right away or up to 48 before the actual seizure.
