Febrile Convulsions in Young Children
Febrile convulsions or febrile fits in young children are common occurrences triggered by fever. Usually, toddlers between the ages of one and four are susceptible to febrile fits. Such febrile fits may happen in young children if the fever gets too high, as the bodies of the children are unable to bear it.
It can be a very frightening experience for the parents and caretakers of the children, if they are not fully informed about febrile seizures when such occurrences happen. It is not helpful for the adults around the child to panic in the emergency, instead of remaining calm and ensuring that the child in a fit does not hurt himself or herself during the fits.
