What Is a Febrile Seizure?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Symptoms
The symptoms of a febrile seizure tend to be quite visually alarming, enough to make a lot of parents panic. Thankfully, though, the symptoms are quite superficial and the patient is usually quite safe. Depending on the severity of the seizures, the patient limbs can go stiff, and their muscles can contract and relax constantly.
Some patient’s eyes will roll back into their head, while some will also vomit and foam can develop at their mouth. Many will also soil themselves, and they may also go unconscious. Going unconscious is also terrifying for many parents but, again, the patient should be just fine.
