Febrile seizures in children: what parents should know this cold and flu season.

A fever spikes, and suddenly your child stiffens, shakes, or goes limp for a minute or two. For a parent, those minutes can feel endless.

Seizures triggered by fever are more common than most families realize, especially between about six months and five years of age. Most are brief, and most children recover fully.

Still, a first seizure deserves a careful look. A pediatric neurologist can help determine whether it was a simple febrile seizure or something that needs further evaluation, and can walk you through what to do if it happens again.

Call 911 if a seizure lasts longer than five minutes, if your child has trouble breathing, or if they do not return to normal afterward.

If your child has had a first seizure, PANDA Neurology offers an appointment within 24 hours for new onset seizures. Our board certified pediatric epilepsy specialists will help you understand what happened and what comes next.

Call [PANDA phone] or visit pandaneurology.com to schedule.

What happens during a child's EEG? Here is what parents can expect.

If your child's doctor has ordered an EEG, the name alone can sound intimidating. The test itself is far gentler than most parents picture.

An EEG records the brain's natural electrical activity. Small sensors are placed on your child's scalp with a soft paste. Nothing is sent into the body. The test only listens.

A few things to know before you go:
- It does not hurt. No needles, no shots.
- Your child may be asked to rest, breathe deeply, or look at a flashing light.
- Some children are asked to arrive tired so they can sleep during the test.
- You can stay with your child the whole time.
- A favorite blanket, toy, or book helps.

The results help our board certified pediatric epilepsy specialists understand what is happening and build the right plan for your child.

Save this post for appointment day, and share it with a parent who has an EEG coming up.

Seizure action plan: the best time to make one is before you need it.

In the middle of an episode, nobody thinks clearly. Caregivers freeze, people guess, and valuable time slips by. A written plan takes the guessing out of the moment.

A good plan answers a few simple questions:
- What does a typical episode look like?
- What should happen first?
- Which medication, and when?
- Who gets called, and when is it an emergency?

Your specialist should help write it, and it should be updated whenever treatment changes.

For kids, the plan belongs with everyone who cares for them: the school nurse, teachers, coaches, grandparents, and sitters. If your child doesn't have a written seizure action plan yet, or it hasn't been updated since treatment changed, ask your PANDA Neurology care team at your next visit.

Sleep and seizures: why a busy fall schedule can make a difference.

Late practices, early mornings, and a few too many short nights add up fast this time of year. For many people, the brain is one of the first places it shows.

Missed sleep is one of the most well known neurological triggers. It isn't only about how many hours, either. Irregular bedtimes and big weekend swings can matter just as much as one short night.

A few habits help:
- Keep wake up time within about an hour, weekends included
- Start a wind down routine at the same time each night
- Put screens away for the last half hour before bed

If your child's seizures seem to cluster around busy weeks or short nights, that pattern is worth sharing with a specialist. PANDA Neurology's board certified pediatric epilepsy specialists look at the whole picture, sleep included, when building a care plan.

Save this for the next busy week, and visit pandaneurology.com to request an appointment.

Tics in kids: the blinking, sniffing, or throat clearing that seemed to show up out of nowhere this fall.

A new school year brings stress, excitement, and tired evenings, and all three can make tics more noticeable. So can being told to stop. Most children can only hold a tic back for a short time, and holding it in often builds the urge.

What helps at home is simple and hard at the same time: try not to comment on it. Less attention on the tic usually means less pressure behind it.

Tics are common in childhood, and many fade on their own. Some linger for months, shift from one kind to another, or start getting in the way of schoolwork, sleep, or friendships. That is the point where a specialist can help you understand what you're seeing and whether treatment makes sense.

PANDA Neurology evaluates tic disorders and Tourette syndrome in children, with a focus on clear answers and a plan your family can live with.

If tics have been hanging around or wearing on your child, request an evaluation today.

Staring spells, zoning out in class, and one more note home saying he isn't paying attention.

If you've heard "it's just behavior" more times than you can count, and nothing you try seems to change it, your frustration makes sense. Sometimes what looks like a focus problem is something else.

Absence seizures can look almost exactly like daydreaming. A child pauses, stares for a few seconds, then picks right back up without knowing anything happened. It can happen many times a day, and it's easy to miss at home or in a busy classroom. ADHD is real too, and the two can even show up together. The goal isn't to guess. The goal is to know.

PANDA Neurology evaluates attention concerns and seizure disorders in one place, with board certified pediatric epilepsy specialists and EEG testing. You don't have to keep wondering.

If something hasn't felt right for a while, trust that. Visit pandaneurology.com to request an evaluation.

You do not need a second seizure to ask for a second opinion.

If your child was recently diagnosed with epilepsy or a seizure disorder, it is normal to want more clarity before settling into a treatment plan. A second opinion is not about doubting your current doctor. It is about making sure you and your child have every piece of information before moving forward.

PANDA Neurology offers second opinion evaluations from board certified pediatric epilepsy specialists, including review of prior testing and treatment history. Families with newly diagnosed seizures also have access to our 24 hour response, so questions do not have to wait for the next available slot.

Every referral is a transfer of trust.

You have followed this patient for years. You know their history, their family, and what they have already tried. When you send them to a specialist, you are not just looking for an appointment. You are looking for someone who will take the case seriously, work it thoroughly, and tell you what they found.

That is the standard we hold ourselves to.

Our physicians bring more than 50 years of combined experience in epilepsy, pediatric neurology, and headache medicine. We evaluate the patients other practices have not been able to resolve. We participate in clinical research so patients have options beyond standard therapy. And we close the loop with you, so the patient who leaves your office comes back to it with a diagnosis and a plan you can actually work with.

Specialty neurology access is limited across the Southeast. Our commitment is that a referral to us does not disappear into a waiting list.

PANDA Neurology treats pediatric epilepsy and seizure disorders, ADHD, tic disorders, and general pediatric neurology, with EEG and infusion therapy in office and access to clinical trials through CIRCA.
