Suggest Remedies For Febrile Seizures In A 2 Year Old

My two year old grandson has a history of febrile seizures. He has been waking up from nap at least twice a week with severe, mind blowing pain in his head. Today he screamed Teeth Hurt. His right ear is very red, his lower gums are very red, he is in an uncontrollable rage and out of control. He is punching and clawing his face and biting! We administer ibuprofen (it takes two of us to hold him down) and within fifteen minutes he begins to relax and collapses in relief.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

A febrile seizure is quite common among kids below the age of five.

In your case, the additional symptoms have to be considered.

Consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possibilities like ADHD also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
