Neurologist 's  Response
Hello dear,
As per your narration, seizure in fever in age group 6 months to 6 years without any focal onset or focal deficit fall under the category of febrile seizures.
Generally febrile seizures doesn't require any treatment or investigations. Only treatment required is management of fever. In cases with repeated episodes per rectal diazepam as home remedy may be advised. In your case antiepileptics have been started. You need to consult a pediatrician or neurologist for proper advice and treatment guidance.
Also it resolves in nearly all children crossing the age of six with only few developing risk of future epilepsy. So be assurred.
Hope you find the answer helpful.
wishing good health to your child.
