How Can Recurrent Seizures And High Fever Be Treated?

I have a friend who has a 8 month old son who keeps having seizures when has a high fever. Can you guide us on what this might be from, why and what we can do to stop? Is this real serious? Should she be seeing a specialist, if so what kind of specialist for an 8 month old?
