What Is a Febrile Seizure?

5. Complex Febrile Seizures
Most children will never experience a febrile seizure. When they do occur, however, they will usually only occur once at most on each occasion the child is ill. A febrile seizure should last for only one minute but, in some cases, the patient might have a seizure that lasts for 15 minutes or even longer.
It may also be that only one part of their body is affected, and that the seizures can happen again in the next 24 hours. This is known as a complex febrile seizure, and it is something that should encourage you to speak with a medical professional.
