Febrile Seizures in Children: Know What to Do
A febrile seizure can occur in young children during a fever and may involve stiffening, shaking, staring, or a brief loss of awareness.
During a seizure, keep your child safe on their side, do not restrain them or put anything in their mouth, and keep track of how long it lasts.
Seek emergency care if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, happens repeatedly, causes breathing problems, or your child does not return to their usual state afterward.
Aether Health ER is available 24/7 at Springcypress ER, Kingwood ER, and Silverlake ER.
