Hello,Welcome to the HCM
Brief...You do not need to give him frisium (clobazam)
Detailed answer...
Since febrile fits are common in children ,and there is difference in epilepsy disease and fits because of only fever.Incidence of recurrent febrile fits is 20 to 30 percent ,and if he does not gets fits after that episode,then that means neither he is having epilepsy nor febrile fits.For fever you may give him paracetamol,and if fever persist,get checked by a pedeatrition ,he may need antibiotic course.
