It typically affects kids between 6 months and 5 years old. These seizures are usually harmless and don\\&#8217;t cause long-term health issues.<\/p>\n<p>They occur when a child\\&#8217;s body temperature rises above 100.4\u00b0F (38\u00b0C). This causes temporary neurological reactions in a developing brain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Are febrile seizures dangerous?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Febrile seizures can be scary, but they\\&#8217;re usually not dangerous. Most last only a few minutes and don\\&#8217;t cause brain damage. They also don\\&#8217;t lead to learning disabilities or serious complications.<\/p>\n<p>Always consult your pediatrician after a seizure. They can determine the underlying cause of the fever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How do I know if my child is experiencing a febrile seizure?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Signs include irregular breathing, loss of consciousness, and fluttering or rolled eyes. You may also notice stiffening or jerking of muscles. Your child might lose bladder or bowel control.<\/p>\n<p>Simple febrile seizures typically last less than 15 minutes. They often involve full-body convulsions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What should I do if my child has a febrile seizure?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Stay calm and gently place your child on the floor. Remove nearby objects and position them on their side. Loosen clothing around the head and neck.<\/p>\n<p>Don\\&#8217;t restrain the child or put anything in their mouth. Call emergency services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes. Also call if your child has breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Can febrile seizures be prevented?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>You can\\&#8217;t completely prevent febrile seizures, but you can manage fever and reduce risks. Use fever-reducing medications as recommended by your pediatrician. Dress your child in lightweight clothing and keep them hydrated.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, fever-reducing medications don\\&#8217;t directly prevent seizures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Are febrile seizures hereditary?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Febrile seizures have a genetic component. Your child has a higher chance if a parent or sibling has had them. However, family history doesn\\&#8217;t guarantee your child will have seizures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>When should I be concerned about febrile seizures?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Seek immediate medical help if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes. Also get help if it occurs multiple times within 24 hours. Be concerned if it only affects one side of the body.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for symptoms like stiff neck, extreme lethargy, or signs of serious infection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Do febrile seizures mean my child will develop epilepsy?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Most children who have febrile seizures don\\&#8217;t develop epilepsy. There\\&#8217;s a slightly increased risk, but it\\&#8217;s rare. The vast majority outgrow these seizures by school age.<\/p>\n<p>They typically don\\&#8217;t develop chronic seizure disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2>Source Links<\/h2>\n<ol data-type=\\\"sources\\\">\n<li>Febrile Seizures (for Parents) &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/febrile.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/febrile.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile Seizures &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/health-information\/disorders\/febrile-seizures\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/health-information\/disorders\/febrile-seizures<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile seizure: Stay calm, know what to do-Febrile seizure &#8211; Symptoms &amp; causes &#8211; Mayo Clinic &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/febrile-seizure\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20372522\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/febrile-seizure\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20372522<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile Seizures: Risks, Evaluation, and Prognosis &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/pubs\/afp\/issues\/2012\/0115\/p149.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/pubs\/afp\/issues\/2012\/0115\/p149.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile seizures &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/illnesses-and-conditions\/brain-nerves-and-spinal-cord\/febrile-seizures\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/illnesses-and-conditions\/brain-nerves-and-spinal-cord\/febrile-seizures\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile seizures &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.mountsinai.org\/health-library\/diseases-conditions\/febrile-seizures\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.mountsinai.org\/health-library\/diseases-conditions\/febrile-seizures<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile Seizures: What to Look for and How to Take Action &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.chop.edu\/news\/health-tip\/febrile-seizures-what-look-and-how-take-action\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.chop.edu\/news\/health-tip\/febrile-seizures-what-look-and-how-take-action<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Patient education: Febrile seizures (Beyond the Basics) &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/febrile-seizures-beyond-the-basics\/print\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/febrile-seizures-beyond-the-basics\/print<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Febrile Seizures: Risks, Evaluation, and Prognosis &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/pubs\/afp\/issues\/2019\/0401\/p445.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/pubs\/afp\/issues\/2019\/0401\/p445.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Patient education: Febrile seizures (Beyond the Basics) &#8211; <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/febrile-seizures-beyond-the-basics\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\">https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/febrile-seizures-beyond-the-basics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about febrile seizure symptoms, causes, and treatments to help keep your child safe.
