Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your child's symptoms are suggestive of
febrile seizures, wherein a child between the ages of six months to six years, can get seizures associated with
high fever. This is not
epilepsy, as these children do not get seizures after the age of six. Also, the treatment consists of immediate lowering of temperature and there is no need to start any anti-epileptic drugs.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
