Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Children between ages of 6 months to 6 years develop convulsions at the height of temperature.
They are known as febrile convulsions and are due to immaturity of the CNS.
Control temperature with paracetamol and tepid sponging to prevent convulsions.
During fever Frisium may be given for a few days temporarily with the advice of your doctor.
After 6 years they disappear.
No need to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
