Febrile Seizure - Omaha,NE

Both of my daughters had seizures as small children. My oldest daughter had them several times a day. She had every test know to man completed on her and doctors never did find out what was wrong. She was on the medication phenobarbital for a year. She is now almost 16 and hasn't had one since she was 1. My youngest daughter had seizures until she was almost 4. Same thing she had every test done with NO answers to why she had them. She also was on phenobarbital. She is now 10 and has been seizure free for 6 years. I have never heard of a febrile seizure at the temperature of 100 degrees or lower. I suggest you go to a Neurologist just to have him check to see if there is something wrong. It is better to be safe than sorry.

I have had good luck suggesting Liqui-Lea, at least 2 tsp. per day.

The good news, this condition is usually outgrown.

my son suffered from these for years. the best that I can tell you is that they can happen again if he has high fevers ..so watch for them. also if it does happen, just keep your cool. you can handle it. if you need to talk you can message me

My daughter had one at nearly 1 year old (she'll be 11 this fall). It was a grand mal & they had to put her on life support to get it to stop - it went on for over an hour. She also had a lower fever (due to ear infection). The seizure was horrifying but it was never repeated. Just keep an eye on temps to make sure they're not running a low grade fever at nap or bedtime.
