Febrile convulsions is a very common problem affecting children usually under three years of age.The convulsions only occur when your child develops a high fever so you need to treat any fever early with Panado and wipe her down with a damp cloth until her temperatute settles.The most common cause of the high fever is an ear ifection so it may be necessary to have her seen by her paediatrician. She will grow out of this problem by herself. There is no specific treatment that is needed.You already know that her EEG is normal so she does not have epilepsy. This condition is not usually inherited and there is no certainty that your new baby will also be affected, so do not worry at this stage.
