What Are the Treatments for Febrile Convulsions?
Febrile convulsions, or febrile seizures, occur in children from nine months to five years old, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Seizures are seen in conjunction with a fever with no other presenting signs of neurological complications or brain infections. Febrile seizures are usually the result of upper respiratory or ear infections and are more prevalent in toddlers. UMMC notes that febrile convulsions may run in families and are rarely indicative of epilepsy.
