Febrile seizure

Febrile seizures are common in children. Symptoms include sudden increase in body temperature and convulsions. It is because the nervous system of children has not fully developed. Recovery after the attack is fast and the prognosis is generally good. It usually does not cause other problems. The onset frequency decreases when children get older. Some complex febrile convulsions develop to epilepsy, which may require long-term treatment.
