Has your child ever had a febrile seizure? If so, how did the process go? My son is two and a half years old, and I am very scared. I would be deeply grateful for any advice.

My child has never had one but I grew up having seizures as a child. I don’t know about everyone else’s experience but it was never painful I was more so just really confused. Knowing that my family (mainly my parents and older brother) were around and helping me helped a lot with the parts I do remember. I grew out of them at 15.

my sister had them as a baby and my nephew its best to keep them out of the son on hot days and no sugary drinks, if theyre sick with a fever watch their temp try to cool them if that dont work go to hospital but the advice given always was lay them on their side during the seizure and call the emergency services, my sister grew out of it and i believe most kids do at 5. Its very scary when it happens the first time because you have no idea what it is but if it happens again you are more prepared!
