Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a grandmother of a 13 month little baby and she has had 6 febrile seizures since June. Always having another one within 24 hours of the first one. The seconds were in August and the thirds one last week. With the last ones she lost her breath three times within 12 hours. The EEG came back fine so the doctors keep saying this is caused by a viral infection. Our concern at this time now that she has stopped the breathing three times what happens if she does this while we are sleeping and we don t wake up. This is a scary thought is there anything we can do?

What Causes Febrile Seizures In An Infant?
Hello, Febrile seizure is quite common and it will settle once the baby reaches the age of five. Keep in mind that it is always associated with fever and temperature should be kept low. Once the baby develop fever, it should be brought down by paracetamol. Continue all the drugs prescribed by the previous physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
