Tips For Managing Febrile Seizures

Anti-Seizure Medication

There is anti-seizure medication, such as benzodiazepines, on the market that will help if a child has experienced more than one febrile seizure. Benzodiazepines act quickly and help get the seizure under control. Medication can be used at the direction of a doctor and is usually in an emergency because of the medication's quick acting nature. If a child only has one seizure, they will most likely not be prescribed this medication. However, if the seizures continue to happen, the medication may be considered. If the doctor thinks the medication will help your child, make sure you do your research and find out all the information you can. Make sure you understand any side effects there might be and ask your doctor all the appropriate questions. There are medicines available if the seizures become more common so the seizures do not take over the life of the child and their parents.
