My 11 year old son suffered a local seizure in left leg followed by a general seizure in 3 hrs. he was suffering frm high fever and was on malaria drug along with doxycycline. his reports like MRI, veinography, CFS, EEG AND OTHER BLOOD TESTS R NORMAL.what could be the reason of seizure? will it repeat. what r the precautions to be taken.
The various us causes of seizures in children include febrile seizures, which occur when an infection associated with high fever develops. Other causes can be infections, metabolic disorders, drugs, medications, bleeding inside the brain. It could be something else mimicking a seizure like fainting, breath holding spells, night terrors, migraines and psychiatric disturbances.
I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
4 hrs later no fever so no Tylenol (what I was told to do when I questioned doing the Tylenol / Motrin regime every 3-4 hrs for 24 hrs). Within an hour after that she spiked a fever and had a seizure. This one was the longest but still relatively short at about 20 seconds. 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).
Medicine from asthma inhalers can also change pupil size. Other causes are excess pressure in one eye due to glaucoma, migraine, seizure, brain tumor or abscess, aneurysm, horner’s syndrome, meningitis, bleeding inside the skull by head injury. If you have any of these causes or if there is blurred vision, double vision, photosensitivity, fever and headache, stiff neck or severe eye pain, go to the emergency immediately. Hope this helps answer some of your doubts. Take care.
Botox treatments are useful for treating pain associated with neuropathic causes, muscular causes and glandular seceretions.Botox injections are injected into the muscle. The effect of a single injection may last for 3-6 months. The common side effects of Botox are pain and discomfort at the site of injection. Other side effects are low grade fever and flu like symptoms.Nausea, headaches and seizures are other rare side effects of botox.
And the most frequent cause is also failure to take the medication as prescribed. Other causes are lack of sleep, illness or fever, or use of alcohol or some drugs.

My daughter just turned two last week. A couple days ago she was fine them I took her to To the store and all of a sudden she started to have a seizure out of no where. Didn't have a fever or anything so they took her on the ambulance she was not hot or anything. They after getting a iv they took a rectal temp and had a 104 temp. So they have her medicine and sent her home and said all of her test came back fine.
Then a mild fever, but after a visit with the chiropractor, the fever ended after 30 hours. And now we have been fever and seizure free for 5 months! My son is himself again. He only goes to see the chiropractor once a month just to check up and they never adjust him unless there is a need. He loves to visit "Dr. Dave" and we have been so encouraged! If anyone has questions please let me know. I hope this brings encouragment!
You may want to ask your doctor to schedule an EEG to check for seizure activity. A type of seizure called Partial Complex Seizure can explain this. Some people have them and not even know it. A lot of times they are caused by fever or a head injury. Sometimes there is no explanation as to why these happen. I have had Epilepsy for 37 yrs, I have the convulsion type seizures but I am also firmiliar with the Partial Complex Seizures as well. Hope ya get an answer soon, and feel better. Take care.
Our youngest daughter, who will be 8 in March, had a seizure induced by a fever in early November. The seizure lasted about a minute or less and she was convulsing and lost consciousness. I was shocked and scared because she had not had a febrile seizure since shortly before her third birthday. The only other seizure she had was at 15 months, and again, was a febrile seizure.
Hi a Pitbull pup 9 months old we saved last weekend, who was covered in ticks, possibly with tick fever, was put on Doxydog, yesterday he started getting seizures, no matter what medication, no matter what the vet did, it got worse and worse, this morning 4 times in half an hour, we just put him out of his misery.

In children fever can trigger a nonepileptic seizure. Before an age of 2 yrs. high fevers or temporary metabolic abnormalities, such as abnormal blood levels of sugar (glucose), calcium, magnesium, vitamin B6, or sodium, can trigger seizures. Seizures do not occur once the fever or abnormality resolves. If the EEG was done during a seizure it would show an increased electrical activity in brain . You can wait till the neurologist consultation.
Ever since my Neurologist started taking me off my anti seizure meds, I've started getting these brain spasms, I guess you could call them that anyways. They only happen on days I'm not on my meds. For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school.

However, since there has been a seizure and an abnormal EEG, the risk for another seizure is a bit higher than if the EEG had been normal. You'll want to monitor your daughter carefully with it in the back of your mind. She may very well never have another seizure in her life! But she may have one, and you'll want to be prepared mentally for this.
If she has more than two seizures in 24 hours with fever she should be evaluated by a neurologist. That makes its a complex seizure vs a simple one.
Many people experience a once off seizure (I think it's something like 1% of the population) Were you doing anything at the time that could have triggered it? The only thing you can do at the moment is wait for the EEG results and that will determine where you will go from here.
