After a seizure with a new focal deficit (right-sided weakness), you must first exclude a structural lesion (e.g. bleed, tumour) with urgent CT brain; postictal Todd's paralysis is a diagnosis made only after that. EEG does not exclude structural causes, and lumbar puncture is reserved for suspected CNS infection (and is unsafe before imaging with focal signs).
