A febrile seizure is a brief period of shaking or stiffness that can happen when a child has a fever. These seizures are most common in children aged 6 months to 5 years and occur in about 2-5% of children.
During a febrile seizure, a child might:
* Shake or jerk uncontrollably
* Become stiff
* Lose consciousness for a short time
While febrile seizures can be frightening to witness, they are usually harmless and don't cause long-term health problems.
If your child has ever experienced these symptoms during a fever, it's important to let your healthcare provider know. This is considered a febrile seizure.
When using the FeverCoach app, please check "Yes" for febrile seizure history if your child has had such an episode. If you're unsure, consult your doctor for guidance.
