Key
points
- During a febrile convulsion, a child’s body will stiffen and jerk around. He’ll lose consciousness, and his eyes might roll backward. Symptoms don’t last long.
- If your child is having a convulsion, remove harmful objects nearby. Video and time the convulsion. Afterwards, put your child in the recovery position, and monitor breathing.
- Call an ambulance if the convulsion lasts longer than five minutes or your child isn’t breathing. Start CPR if your child isn’t breathing.
- See your GP or go to a hospital emergency department if it’s your child’s first convulsion or you’re worried about your child’s symptoms.
What is a febrile convulsion?
A
febrile convulsion is a seizure or fit that happens because of fever,
which is a temperature higher than 38°C. The rapid rise in temperature causes
an abnormal electrical discharge in the brain.Febrile convulsions usually
happen in children between six months and six years old.
Does your child need to see a doctor about febrile convulsions?
Your child should
see a doctor or go to a hospital
emergency department if:
- it’s your child’s first febrile convulsion
- you’re not sure whether your child has had a febrile convulsion
- your child has febrile convulsions often.
Children
don’t usually need to be admitted to hospital after a febrile convulsion, unless your health practitioner
is concerned about the condition that
caused the fever – for example, pneumonia
or meningitis.
If you take your
child to hospital, medical staff will check your child out, treat the
underlying condition, and send your child home when he’s back to normal. Your
doctor might also give you an information sheet and emergency plan in case you need
it in the future.
Tests after a febrile convulsion
A child who’s had
a febrile convulsion probably won’t need tests.
Sometimes doctors
might order blood or urine tests, or a chest X-ray,
to work out what condition caused the fever.
Your child might
be sent for an EEG if she’s having repeated febrile
convulsions, but this won’t usually happen after a single febrile convulsion.
Prevention of febrile convulsions
There’s no
guaranteed way to prevent febrile convulsions.
You can lower your
child’s fever and make him more comfortable by using paracetamol
or ibuprofen and taking off extra
clothing. Sometimes a febrile convulsion will be the first sign of a fever.
Paracetamol doesn’t reduce the risk of febrile convulsions.
If your child has
a lot of febrile convulsions, your doctor might rarely consider prescribing anticonvulsant medication. Your
child would need to take this medication continually for several years to
prevent convulsions. But this is a rare treatment, which a paediatrician
or paediatric neurologist
would supervise.
More about febrile convulsions
Children generally
only ever have one febrile convulsion. But children who have their first
febrile convulsion before the age of one year are more likely to have another.
About 3 in every
100 children will have a febrile convulsion.
Febrile
convulsions tend to run in families and affect boys more than girls.
Epilepsy
is when a child has or is at risk of having repeated and unpredictable seizures.
Healthy children who’ve had a febrile convulsion and who don’t have a family
history of seizures aren’t any more likely to develop epilepsy than other
children.
