Pediatrician,  's  Response
Probably your child is suffering from disease called "Febrile Seizures ."

Febrile Seizures is characterised by episode of convulsions whenever child develops fever and temperature is usually above 100.4°F.

During episode the most important thing is to stay calm don't panic, place your child on a soft surface, lying on her side or back. If episode of convulsion last more than 5 minutes​​ call ambulance.

Most children who have febrile convulsions do not have any long term health problems. By the age of 6 years, Febrile Seizures completely disappear.

CT scan or EEG is required only if he is having repeated convulsions, convulsions lasting more than 5 minutes, or he is developing sensory or motor problems after convulsions.
For any further query you can consult me at Healthcare Magic.
