What should I know about febrile seizures in toddlers?
Febrile seizures are triggered by rapid temperature spikes and are extremely frightening to witness but generally harmless. Monitor temperature every hour during fever. Give paracetamol at 100.3 and switch to ibuprofen if it is ineffective. Tepid sponging helps prevent spikes. Your paediatrician may prescribe Frisium for seizure prevention and Midazolam nasal spray as an emergency SOS medication. Key learnings from parents: the seizure can happen even at 99.5 if the spike is rapid, and it cannot always be prevented on the first occurrence. The trauma for parents is real and lasting — seek support.
