Some children with fever give a terrifying experience to their parents. Without warning, they become rigid, the eyes roll up, the limbs may move rhythmically, and froth appears at the mouth. Sometimes, the child may pass stools or urine unknowingly. After a few minutes, the cruel rigidity of the limbs relaxes, and the child falls into a deep sleep.
Febrile seizures are, quite simply, seizures caused by fever. They occur in 3-4% of all children. The condition for calling them febrile seizures is that they are associated with fever, and not associated with any disease of the brain or its coverings. The important thing is, they are not a form of epilepsy, and most children prone to febrile seizures do not develop epilepsy.
Febrile seizures are triggered off by fever in children between the ages of 6 months and six years. Sometimes, the fever is brought to notice by the seizure. Occasionally, fever follows the seizure. We don't know why some children react thus to fever, but we do know that these seizures are usually harmless, though scary.
