Repeated Seizures
Febrile seizures are commonly short and singular. When they're not, this is a symptom of a more serious problem. If a child has more than one seizure within 24 hours, they should go to the hospital. This might be complex febrile seizures.3‘Febrile Seizures.’ Nemours KidsHealth - the Web’s Most Visited Site About Children’s Health, kidshealth.org/en/parents/febrile.html
It's useful to time a seizure. It should only last a few minutes. If the seizure lasts longer than two or three minutes or is associated with breathing problems, stiff neck or vomiting, adults should call an ambulance right away.1‘Febrile Seizures: What Are They, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/7001-febrile-seizures
