Children tend to run higher fevers than adults.
When a temperature rises rapidly, convulsions can occur. During convulsions the body stiffens and arms, legs and teeth clench together. The eyes may roll back, and the child may also stop breathing for a few seconds, vomit, urinate or pass stool. Convulsions last from one to five minutes. Although very frightening, fever convulsions in children 6 months to 4 years are seldom serious.
