What Is a Febrile Seizure?

7. What To Do?
While febrile seizures are rarely dangerous, you should still take steps to help ensure that the patient is safe. One of the first things you should do is to make sure that they are laid down in a safe place such as in their crib. This will help to prevent them from accidentally hurting themselves during the seizure.
In addition, you should also make sure that the child is placed in the recovery position. This will help to prevent them from choking on vomit, and ensure that they are able to breathe freely. It might be tempting to put something in their mouths to prevent them from biting their tongue, but this is only likely to make matters worse.
