Moaning
During a typical febrile seizure, a child may make strange sounds. They could moan or vocalize. Moaning does not necessarily mean that the child is conscious or that they understand what is happening. While it can be scary, this is a common symptom and not an emergency.
Sounds are expected, but adults nearby should listen to ensure the child is not gagging or choking. Laying the child on their side can be a good way to help keep their airway clear.3‘Febrile Seizures.’ Nemours KidsHealth - the Web’s Most Visited Site About Children’s Health, kidshealth.org/en/parents/febrile.html
