Common Questions and Answers about Benign febrile seizure nursing management
seizure
Since then, every somewhat elevated temperature will result in a seizure. We have been to the emergency a few times and were always told that he is in fact experiencing febrile seizures which are of no concern. The seizures never last longer than a few minutes, at most. One ER doctor did however order an EEG since on one occasion he's had multiple seizures (10 short seizures in 2 hours). The EEG showed "activity" on one side of the brain (right temple).
Called the dr and ran her there immediately. Did blood work and urinalysis and said she had a viral infection and febrile seizure (temp was still 103 after being cooled down).
Family history is my husband had febrile seizures to age 6. The other children we have had never had one. I run high fevers to 104.5 or slightly higher. It seems she got my tendency to run high fevers and daddy's tendency to have a seizure.
My daughter was diagnosed with febrile seizures at one week old. She took phenobarbitol until about six months old when she out grew the dosage and no longer displayed symptoms. She is now almost ten years old and has not had a seizure since infancy. However, within the past year she has started displaying frequent motor tics and recently vocal tics. Her motor tics started with blinking/rolling her eyes. They have progressed to neck shrugs and hand twists.
Hi, my daughter got febrile Seizure 3 times within 24 hours. After a month, she got 2 episodes in 3 days gap. Doctors suggested to give Levipil 100ml syrup 1ml in morning and 1 ml in evening. She is not having further seizures in last 2 months now. Is it the correct medication? How much time we need to continue this medication? Any known side effects of Levipil for infants?
The only other seizure she had was at 15 months, and again, was a febrile seizure. She had had numerous fevers in the intervening 4 years but no seizure, even when her fevers were caused by tropical viruses. She has had no further seizures. We did a follow-up EEG and an MRI. The neurologist here in HK where we are living at the moment said that the MRI was normal but there was some slight abnormality in the EEG on both sides of the brain.
Just yesterday while she was her relative home she had a seizure at the home. Which lasted about 2 min. She was at the beach all day and did not eat. Would that have caused her to have a seizure?
She was ill with a fever, so docs felt it could be febrile seizure. She has experienced several years of recurring loss of consciousness, but revives in a few minutes. Most times she had episodes while vomiting. She always lies down to prevent falls. After taking milk out of her diet, the frequent vomiting stopped and the fainting episodes seemed to stop.....for awhile. Then, four weeks ago she was in her bedroom and cut herself accidentally with a pair of scissors...she went out.
She need to be seen by a Dr. ASAP. I'm an EMT, it could be anything from febrile seizure, to issues with her kidneys.
Tonight my sister in law came over so I could see my nieces since I've been on bed rest and haven't seen them lately. I'm very close to them and they mean the world to me. Well when we were just sitting around talking my 4 year old niece was playing with my SIL's brother who stopped over when she started crying like something was wrong with her.
Has her development and birth history been unremarkable? Is she neurologically “normal”? Has she ever had a febrile seizure? Is there a family history of seizures? Has she ever had head trauma or meningitis?
You should continue following up with the pediatric neurologist.
Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions, I hope you find the information I have provided useful, good luck.
Anyways, I never had epyleptic seizure and only had mild febrile seizure once when I was ~2 years old. So here is the question: When the nurse was adjusting my electrodes she kinda shook my head to make the stick onto my head and I got dizzy, as I didn't want to open my eyes I got more and more dizzy with my eyes rolling and it took me ~15 seconds to finally stop the spinning and orient my self in space. Could that sensation of spinning cause those irregularities on my EEG medical?
I woke up suddenly with 4 ambulance staff who told me i had suffered from a seizure. It was then noted my thyrodi levels were very LOW so i had thyroxine replacement medication to manage. I was sent home, then had another one a month later, then they put me on anti-seizure medication. I have asked the neurologists, doctors, nurses if there is ANY correlation between the seizures and low thyroid reading and apparantly there is not..
My 32 month old toddler has been experiencing febrile seizures ever since he was one year old. At first, the seizures occurred when his fever spiked but they later started to appear at low grade fevers too. He was seen by a neurologist and had an EEG and MRI done. The EEG showed a slight "spike" whereas the MRI was completely normal. Since his seizures were reoccurring, he was put on clobazam.
By the time the ambulance got there he was breathing normal but was still totally out of it and very sleepy. They told me it was a febrile seizure and is pretty common, i googled it later and it happened exactly like a 'normal' febrile sezuire and there is no long term affects or anything. Another fever could trigger another one or he.could also never have one again. But apparently this a more common then.
So, the assigned health problem is febrile illness and I chose the USA population, which means febrile illness in returning travelers or international travelers and how the USA advises and tries to reduce travel related illness in its population. Hence, I need to find articles related to:
1. epidemiology of the problem
2. interventions + its costs + cultural and ethical issues involved;
and by using this, I need to make a 5-year plan for the USA to implement its prevention and management.
I have heard keppra is bad about causing mood swings. I am on tegretol. I had my first (febrile) seizure when I was 5 and that's what I was put on. In Sept and Nov I had alot of very nasty grand mals. I'm not going to say this to scare you, but you should be aware. I have lost a good deal of my memory (as far as past memories). I can be reminded easily of some and some I have no recollection. My short term memory has been affected too.
Just try to be patient with her and your doctors.
The most benign cause is benign myoclonus of infancy, which is a jerking that occurs while sleepy or sleeping, or during sudden stimulation or excitement. Most patients do well without any implicatioons on development. other possibilities include enhanced startle response. As you mention, these could be seizures. Some children with epilepsy have normal development, others are delayed. This depends on the seizure severity, the type of seizures, and the cause.
