Hello doctor, my daughter has just completed a year. she is having febrile seizure from the month of 5. Upto her 1 year completion she has got the febrile seizure near to 9 times ( has monthly once or twice). sometimes we was normal but suddently she got seizure. when we check the temperature that time it will be above 99. Kindly advice what to do........
Hi, It is not common for a baby to have simple febrile seizure at this frequency. Usually they will get once in 2-3 months only. Also, we have to think why the child gets fever once or twice every moth. If I were your treating doctor, I would suggest you to get an EEG (electroencephalogram), a basic metabolic workup and sometimes an MRI brain. If all these are normal, we need not worry much. If EEG comes abnormal, it is possible for him to get seizure even without fever. To control this, we have to give anti-epileptics. Usually I prescribe cloacae as intermittent prophylaxis (i.e. to be taken only for first 3 days of every fever episodes. Child Chat Doctor.
