They are very frightening, but they aren't as dangerous as they may appear. Return to top How serious are febrile seizures? Generally, febrile seizures aren't harmful to a child. Even though seeing your child have a febrile seizure is frightening, your child will be okay. A febrile seizure doesn't cause brain damage. Also, your child can't swallow his or her tongue during a seizure. Febrile seizures usually last just a few minutes and go away on their own. It's very unusual for a febrile seizure to last more than 10 minutes. Usually, a child who has had a febrile seizure does not need to be hospitalized and may not need x-rays or a brain wave test.

Less commonly, the child becomes rigid or has twitches in only a portion of the body, such as an arm or a leg, or on the right or the left side only. Most febrile seizures last a minute or two, although some can be as brief as a few seconds while others last for more than 15 minutes. The majority of children with febrile seizures have rectal temperatures greater than 102 degrees F. Most febrile seizures occur during the first day of a child's fever. Children prone to febrile seizures are not considered to have epilepsy, since epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures that are not triggered by fever.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index F febrile seizure Search febrile seizure A febrile seizure is a seizure caused by sudden elevation of the body temperature in a child in the proper age range, generally six months to three years old (some authorities extend the age range a bit but not beyond five or six years). Points about febrile seizures: Febrile seizures are frightening to the parents but do not cause any harm to the child unless very prolonged. The usual seizure lasts three to five minutes and is harmless to the child. Febrile seizures are essentially impossible to prevent. They generally occur on a rapid upswing in the temperature, often before the parents are aware the child even has a fever. Most children only have one or at most two such seizures in childhood. They do not cause epilepsy later in life. Febrile seizures are limited to the young, probably under three years old. A seizure with a concomitant fever in an older child is a different animal and may indeed be related to epilepsy. True febrile seizures are usually thought to be generalised (the whole body is involved) and not focal (for example involving only one arm or one side of the body) although a true febrile seizure may begin focally and progress to the whole body.

20. MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia Febrile Seizures The seizure may not last longer than 15 minutes. The child cannot have had more than one febrile seizure in 24 hours. http://tmsyn.wc.ask.com/r?t=an&s=hb&uid=24312681243126812&sid=343126
