Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Febrile Seizure?
Febrile seizures are seizures that occur due to high fever caused by viral infections, and less commonly, bacterial infection. They usually occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. Febrile seizures most often occur within 24 hours of the onset of a fever and can be the first sign that a child is ill. Some children inherit a family's tendency to have seizures with a fever.
Typical Symptoms of Febrile Seizure
- Seizure
- Family history of fits during fevers / febrile seizures
- Fever
- Seizure lasted longer than 5 minutes
- History of previous seizures from fever / febrile convulsions
- Seizures during a fever of at least 100.4°F / 38°C
- Seizure with jerking movements
- Struggling to focus or feeling less aware of my surroundings
Diagnostic Questions for Febrile Seizure
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you had a seizure?
- Any family history of febrile convulsions or seizures in childhood?
- Do you have a fever?
- Did your seizure last longer than five minutes?
- Have you ever had febrile convulsions?
Treatment of Febrile Seizure
Medication to stop the seizures is administered through the nose (as sprays), the rectum, or injected. These medications are typically used to treat seizures that last longer than five minutes or if the child has more than one seizure within 24 hours. Medication to reduce the fever and treat infection can also beprescribed.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
