Your nephew suffers from febrile seizures. At her age this condition can be normal, but can also be the first sign of an epileptic disease. There are certain clinical and EEG signs according to witch febrile seizures can be classified into "simple" or "complicated". Simple febrile seizures tend to disappear as the child grows, complicated ones have a higher chance to develop into epilepsy. If these seizures persist or other neurological problems (weakness, imbalance, double vision etc.) or developmental abnormalities are associated contact an epileptologist.
at that temperature range its normal to be fitting.
He is at the hospital isnt he? Speak to the doctors rather than this group of know it alls lol
These are febrile convulsions and they usually occur till the age of 7yrs.The best way out of it is not to allow the body temperature to rise which triggers Febrile convulsions and consult your Family Doctor for further guidance and treatment
Febrile convulsions in children of 5 years of age are common. Control the temperature by cold spunging, ice bag etc., and consult your Doctor immediately for necessary treatment.
My daughter has epilepsy.
The fits are brought on by temperature changes during infections.
Your GP will be able to advise you.
Best of luck, try not to worry it can be controlled.
