Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
I would like to tell you that your infant is having febrile convulsion. Febrile convulsion is very common when the fever is due to Urinary tract infection.
Your kid is having Urinary tract infection.
I would suggest you the following
1. Ultrasound kidney ureter and bladder to rule out ascending inflammation
2. Intravenous antibiotics
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
