Pediatrician, Pulmonology ,  's  Response
Hi...febrile seizures are seizures which occur during high fever in some kids. They usually occur form 6 months to 6 years of age and usually are self limiting after 6 years of age. They usually do not leave any focal neurological deficits also. Rather than the height of the temperature the rapidity of rise of temperature is more important.

In general, antiepileptic therapy, continuous or intermittent, is not recommended for children with 1 or more simple febrile seizures. Parents should be counseled about the relative risks of recurrence of febrile seizures and recurrence of epilepsy, educated on how to handle a seizure acutely, and given emotional support.

Viral illness can cause RBC presence in the urine and also high grade fever like this. But most importantly in-between 2 fever episodes the kid will be active.
