My 5 year old son had his first and hopefully last one yesterday, convulsing, spasms, foaming etc, purple lips, bit his tongue so the foam came out semi-read. I thought he was dead, I never want to feel that again. For someone so COMMON or relatively common, every mum and dad should know what this is!
My 11 month had one for the first time, very scary and traumatic experience. It was the worst feeling in the world. I hope I never have to experience it again. 😢
We can’t seem to tell if they’re simple of complex. Baby had one big simple one where they completely seized but now gets ticks/head shaking/repetitive motions everytime she gets a temp. Idk what to do at this point
Febrile seizures typically resolve on their own. If medications are needed to stop the febrile seizure, then it is likely that it is a complex one, and may need further investigations.

If febrile convulsions don’t cause brain damage, why do we give benzodiazepines to stop them?
If they go on for a long time they can cause brain damage. But since they normally don't last long you don't normally need to give the meds
