Febrile seizures are typically associated with a sudden high fever in young children.
They are more common between 6 months and 6 years.
Febrile seizures are usually brief, lasting a few minutes.
Symptoms can include muscle twitching, loss of consciousness, and brief convulsions.
Keep the child safe during the seizure by placing them on their side on a soft surface to prevent choking.
Do not restrain the child's movements or put anything in their mouth during the seizure.
Monitor breathing and call emergency services if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes.
After the seizure, comfort the child and seek medical evaluation to determine the cause of the fever.
Maintain a record of the seizure for medical evaluation and treatment guidance.
Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on managing fever and febrile seizures in your child.
