Tips For Managing Febrile Seizures

Fever Medication

Fevers are caused by an illness, like the flu, a viral infection, or ear infections. You can try to head off any kind of seizure by trying to bring down the fever using over the counter medications, such as acetaminophen. As with any illness, you should check with a doctor to make sure any medication will be safe for the child. Additionally, it is critical that the right amount of medicine is given to the child, so make sure to follow the directions carefully. You should also always take the child to their primary doctor to make sure everything is okay and treat any underlying illness the child may have. Febrile seizures, thankfully, are different from epilepsy, and there is no strong correlation between febrile seizures and epileptic seizures, though both require prompt treatment.
