HI, thanks for using healthcare
He had a febrile seizure.
This is a seizure that occurs along with a fever. It occurs most commonly in children.
Febrile seizures can be simple or complex. If it was simple febrile seizure then the risk of future seizures is very low.
You can use a thermometer to help diagnose the presence of any fever. You should be able to obtain one of these from your local pharmacy.
I hope this helps
