Common Questions and Answers about Febrile seizure first aid
seizure
I have a 20-month old toddler who has been having seizures since the first time he's had a high fever (he was around 13month old). 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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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..
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.
We're struggling to get to the bottom my son's issues. Since he was a year old he started getting febrile seizures, his first round brought 4 seizures in 2 days. He's had maybe 8 seizures since then and 2 of which didn't involve a fever at all. He was found passed out at his day care in February, he wasn't seen seizing or shaking but he came out of it like he would a seizure. Now, for the last 3 - 4 months, we've noticed him passing out.
He was having cough and cold from the first day of the birth. Doctors prescribed Nasoclear. Elders gave him domestic medicines. At the age of 7 months, when i was feeding him, he suddenly started shaking, body was bent, and his fever was 104 F. He was immidiately admitted to nearby hospital in ICU. His Blodd tests were done and was found allergic to Milk, Grass, Dust.
Montair 4 was given on regular basis, and another doctor prescribed Inhaler for breathing.
He has regular Cough, Cold.
