Key Takeaways:

  • Frequent seizures in children are classified as Epilepsy, a common neurological condition.
  • Febrile convulsions affect children between 6 months and 5 years, often triggered by fever.
  • Aggressive fever control does not prevent this type of seizure, which may be congenital or genetic.
  • The video explains the definition, management strategies, and impact of Febrile convulsions.
  • Understanding the condition helps parents support their child’s growth and development despite the seizures.

Do you have a child who is presenting seizures, or is there a child that you know of, who is presenting seizures?  When seizures frequently recur then it is termed as Epilepsy, which is a very common neurological problem today. We can fight it better if we learn more about it. Our goal is to empower a concerned parent such as yourself, with information required to help your child grow into a self-confident young adult in the society.

A unique form of seizure affects children between age 6 months to 5 years. This form of seizure is common in the general population, may occur before or soon after the occurrence of fever. However, most parents must understand that aggressively controlling the fever will in no way prevent this congenital/genetic condition.
