Breathing Difficulties
A child having a febrile seizure may breath strangely or pause in breathing for several seconds. They may take gulping deep breaths when the seizure ends. The electrical signals in the brain can affect the muscles that control breathing.1‘Febrile Seizures: What Are They, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/7001-febrile-seizures
Adults should call an ambulance if a child is struggling to breathe. If the lips or face start to take on a purple or blue tint, that's another sign that the child is not getting oxygen and needs emergency help.3‘Febrile Seizures.’ Nemours KidsHealth - the Web’s Most Visited Site About Children’s Health, kidshealth.org/en/parents/febrile.html
