[|Human|] My daughter suffered from seizures during fever at the age of 1.5 Yrs for the first time. The second episode was on 29th of July and now she is 4 yrs old. she weighs 15Kgs and iam not sure bout her height. She was taken to Paedeatric Neurologist and he suggested that as parents for your satisfaction we can have EEG test done which will assess the risk in future. I stay in bangalore and would like to know what extent it is required to conduct the test.
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Seizures within 24hrs of onset of fever and lasting less than 5 mins is commonly seen in this age group child Chat Doctor.  Especially if there is a strong family history of febrile seizures then there is much more possibility if this. It usually doesn't happen of the fever is controlled well from the very onset. It's called simple febrile seizures and if that is the case, no investigation is required. But if any atypical features like, seizure onset after 24 hrs of fever onset, more than 1 episode in 24hrs, occurring beyond 6 yrs, child has development delay etc. needs evaluation with EEG. Having said that, getting an EEG done just for completion is not a harm. It's a non-invasive test and won't affect in management. Hope this clears your query. Happy to help. Take care.
