Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Central nervous system Febrile seizure (children) Definition: A febrile seizure is a brief, generalized, symmetric convulsion in a child that occurs in association with fever but without any brain or spinal cord infection or neurologic cause. Alternative Names: Seizure - fever induced Causes, incidence, and risk factors: A febrile seizure is a generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure that occurs in some children as a response to a fever . Febrile seizures are usually associated with rapidly rising fevers, and usually occur early in the fever rather than later. The seizure may last a few seconds up to a few minutes (although short seizures are more typical). It most commonly occurs in children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years of age. Approximately 2-5% of children will have a seizure associated with fevers. However, the exact cause of febrile seizures is unknown. There is a tendency for febrile seizures to run in families. This suggest thats there are genetic factors involved. Occasionally, seizures associated with fever may be a symptom of other diseases such as poisoning, meningitis , or encephalitis Roseola , or infection with human herpesvirus-6, is also a frequent cause of febrile convulsions in children. Dysentary caused by shigella is frequently associated with a high fever and febrile seizures in children. A child who has a febrile seizure once may not have further

Febrile Seizure What Is a Febrile Seizure? A febrile seizure is a "convulsion" that occurs with a fever. Most children who have febrile seizures will outgrow them by four to five years of age. Having a febrile seizure does not mean that your child has brain damage. There is a chance, however, that your child may have another seizure when he or she has a fever. What Do I Do When My Child Is Sick (to prevent this)? Give Tylenol (acetaminophen) in the correct dose for your child's age. It should be given every 4 hours while the temperature is 101 F (38 C) or above. Dose for Tylenol AGE TYLENOL LIQUID/DROPS Under 6 months Call Us (545-9300) 6 months - 1 year 1/2 tsp./0.8 ml of drops 1 year - 2 years 3/4 tsp/1.2 ml of drops 3 years - 4 years 1 tsp 5 years - 6 years 1 1/2 tsp 7 years - 8 years 2 tsp 9 years - 10 years 2 1/2 tsp 11 years - 12 years 3 tsp Over 12 years 4 tsp Don't bundle up or overdress your child. The body loses heat through the skin and if you bundle him/her up, the excess heat cannot escape.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Febrile seizure (children) Alternative Names: Seizure - fever induced Treatment: A child with febrile seizures, especially a first-time febrile seizure, should be brought to his or her primary care doctor for an examination. While the actual seizure may not be worrisome, it is important to determine the source of the fever. First-aid interventions for a seizure may include prevention of injury (by removing surrounding objects on which the child may become injured), turning the child to the side to prevent aspiration of vomit or mucus into the lungs, and watching to make sure the tongue does not obstruct breathing. DO NOT stick anything into the individual's mouth. Treat the fever with acetaminophen - oral or ibuprofen. Aspirin should not be used to treat fever in children with possible viral infections because this increases the risk of Reye's syndrome . The cause of the fever should be treated. If the seizure(s) has not stopped by the time the child reaches the hospital, then it is probably not a "simple" febrile seizure Expectations (prognosis): Febrile seizures are not generally chronic or recurring. Some children will be more susceptible to future febrile seizures than other children. Two or more episodes may indicate susceptibility to febrile seizures. Most children outgrow the tendency to develop febrile seizures.

Subject: Behavior and Febrile Seizure Topic Area: Other Behavioral Topics Forum: The Child Behavioral Health Forum Question Posted By: marykmd on Monday, October 08, 2001 My son began to have febrile seizures at about 2 years of age, that continued until approxiametely the age of 4 1/2 years. In the past 9-12 months my son has had, only what I can call, obsessive behavior towards my husband/his father. Example, not being able to have him out of his sight when home. Telling him over and over (within a short period of time) that he loves him, with a demand for noticable reply back from my husband everytime he makes a declaration of love. There are other signs of obsessiveness, if not with my husband, he has to be playing with his friends. If we call him in for dinner or homework, he becomes uncontrollable with anger and hysteria. It takes anywhere from 20-60 mins to explain to him that he can come in and eat and then go out and play again. My son is easy to anger, and difficult to calm down. Recently he has started to kick at other students in school when he is upset by something they say or do. (This has started within the past 3-4 weeks.)

Search Conditions A- Z Search Categories Medication Administration français Febrile Seizure A febrile seizure (fever convulsion, "fit") causes your child's muscles to go into spasms. It usually happens when a child's temperature goes up really fast. Febrile seizure only happens in a very small number of children and does not cause any permanent damage. The chance of your child having another seizure is 25% to 30%. Most children will not have another one. The chance of your child having another seizure is greater if they are younger than 18 months, if there is a family history of febrile seizures, or if the fever was not very high when the seizure happened. Many doctors and parents think the side effects from the medicine that may prevent seizures are worse than the child having another febrile seizure. Even if your child takes the medicine, it may not stop them from having another seizure. Return to the Emergency Department IF: A seizure happens and your child does not have a fever.

Febrile seizure in young children 21 November 2001 with Norman Swan One of the scary things that can happen to parents of young children is a febrile seizure - a convulsion when the child has a fever. And doctors have been long debating what should be done when this happens. Do you check for meningitis? Do you put the child on anti-convulsant drugs? What indicates a high risk of another seizure, and what advice should parents be given? The statistics are that about one in 25 otherwise healthy children will have a febrile fit between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. The vast majority of these last less than 15 minutes; are generalised (in other words involve the whole body); and only happen once in any 24-hour period. If the child doesn't fit that description - say the seizure involves just one arm or one side, lasts longer than 15 minutes, the temperature isn't very high, or there's more than one fit in a the day, then it's not a simple febrile convulsion and may indicate a risk of epilepsy. But when it is a straightforward story – what is the story?

A febrile seizure (c-zure) or convulsion (kun-vull-shun) is an attack caused by a high fever. During a seizure the electrical activity in the brain is not normal. The brain seems to act as if it is having an electrical storm during the seizure. Febrile seizures are the most common kind of seizure and are usually not harmful. Seizures may scare you because you think your child may die. But the seizure usually does not cause brain damage and is not as serious as it looks. A febrile seizure may last 1 to 10 minutes. Children between 6 months and 6 years are more likely to have a febrile seizure. Some children who have had a febrile seizure may have another seizure with a high fever. But the risk of having another febrile seizure decreases after your child is 3 years. Causes: Your child is more likely to have a febrile seizure if his temperature is higher than 101.8 degrees F (38.8 degrees C). Febrile seizures seem to happen when a child's temperature has gone up quickly. The fever is usually caused by an infection, like a cold or the flu.
