Are Frequent Seizures During Fever And Ear Infections Normal In Children?
Hi, I have a friend whos child is two years old. He has been in and out of the doctor with ear infections, but also with these he has high fevers. The child has had multiple seizures when he has these symptoms. Doctors just tell her that it is normal for children to have seizures when the body temp is high. They state there is nothing wrong, but is it possible that he might have early symptoms of epilepsy? He is getting these ear infections at least once a month, and within the past 6 months has had 3 seizures lasting aprox a min or a little longer.

Are Frequent Seizures During Fever And Ear Infections Normal In Children?
Good evening..!! Your child has febrile seizures. These are benign. Can continue to occur until 6 years of age. There is no conclusive evidence that simple febrile seizure is an early symptom for future epilepsy. So don t worry. Consult ENT surgeon for reccurent ear infections. Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
