[|AI|]  Hellenist common cause of fever in this age is some viral infection. In viral infection high grade fever may persist for initial 3-4 days and then fever starts declining. Along with fever there may be loose stool, cough/cold, rashes or redness of eyes. Most of the time it responds to conservative management and even antibiotic is not needed. In this age the most common cause of fever with convulsion is febrile convulsion particularly if it is of brief period and child gains full consciousness without any neurological deficit. Other less likely possibility is infection in brain. Here in your case it appears to be febrile convulsion and your doctor has managed on the same line of treatment. I won't get worried as it is still 4th day. If fever persists longer I would like to get investigations done to rule out any bacterial infection. Give medicines to control fever and also do sponge as this may again precipitate the seizure. Consult your pediatrician if condition worsens or fever persists longer. Regards
