Strange thing happened to toddler face drooped. Seizure?

[worriedcantsleep]

I'm going out of my mind with concern
My 20 month year old dd was drinking her cup of juice this afternoon and had just done a poo so was about to go over to her to pick her up to change her.
I looked over at her and her head was tipped back slightly and the left side of her face had drooped. Her mouth was hanging open on that side, she looked like a drunk person I callout to her and she is now looking in my direction but one of her eyes is unfocused and looking outwards.
I grabbed hold of her and picked her up and she looked like she was losing consciousness. I called shouted her name in her face then my partner came over and did the same and dd appeared to 'come back to the room' as such and started crying.
I would say this whole thing lasted no more than 20! Seconds.

We took her to the changing mat to get her sorted and read to her from her favourite animal book whilst this happened to see if she would interact with me as normal and she did.

What could this have been? After she went to bed I started to google and all that kept coming up was seizures and brain tumours. I'm beside myself and can't sleep . I'm terrified this could be cancer and we will loose her and we love her so much and waited 5 years for her.

Anyone have any experience of this.
A bit of further info
She banged her forehead badly on Saturday afternoon whilst playing. She cried and there is a big bruise.
She appears to be teething her first mollars at the moment and she has been dribbling excessively for a couple of weeks now but she has NOT got a fever/temperature with it.

I'm beside myself and can't sleep

Why haven't you sought medical advice? Surely that'd be the natural thing to do?

My daughter had some facial palsy following a viral infection, but A&E concluded that after ruling out other things. Seek medical advice. Call 111 at the very least.

Just to add her face went back to normal straight away as far as I can see though I wasn't sure when looking at her smile afterwards that her mouth might have been ever so crooked but I was highly stressed and may have been over critical . I will check in the morning.
I think until I googled I didn't realise the potential seriousness as she went back to normal though a bit subdued before bed so I didn't seek medical attention at the time but will be contacting the doctor this morning when they open.
Also for the last couyof weeks she has just been randomly laughing at nothing.
She's an only child and I've nothing to compare this to.
I feel like I could throw up with worry here

You need to ring your GP or 111. It could be something mild, or it could be more than that.

Call 111 at the very least, however A&E would have been my first port of call in your shoes. Better safe (and reassured) than sorry (or going out of your mind with worry) with small children.

I'd be at A and E. No hesitation

Did she fall? What happened?

I'm going to contact the gp first thing without doubt

@grassisjeweled yes she fell whilst playing and hit her forehead on skirting board

If she banged her head and is now displaying this sort of behaviour you should take her to A&E. Don't wait until the morning.

I would call 111 and if that means having to wake her so be it. I wouldn’t wait until the morning.

Shit, just saw the update that she’d banged her head. Get her to A and E now.

Please get your little one to A&E /Gp asap. She could have had a seizure, some kind of facial palsy, or even a stroke. She really needs to have some tests to find out what is going on. Sending you love x

I agree, you need to phone 111 now at the very least. Don’t wait.

I'm going to call111 now .

Take her to a&e. I really don’t understand why you haven’t acted sooner. She’s had a head injury and has been displaying those symptoms.

111 will tell you to take her to A&E.

I've just woken her and she is in a very playful mode. Going to call 111 now Thanks all

Hope she's okay. X.

My Ds2 had Absence Epilepsy with abdominal migraine and this sounds similar.

Given the head trauma - I would be on my way to A&E, IIWY.

Why did you come on Mumsnet and not call bloody 111? Seriously?

I'm shocked that you didn't seek help as soon as it happened. Good luck.

Not at all helpful to join the “why didn’t you immediately seek medical advice” club. But exactly that.

I’m stunned.

Please take her to A&E or at least call 111

Blimey, hope you're at A&E now getting seen.
