Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
Febrile convulsions occur when there is high fever due to any cause.
There is no specific test to prevent febrile convulsions.
Prevention of fever with paracetamol and tepid sponging.
Frisium tabs twice daily during high fever for 3-4 days to prevent convulsions.
Once the child is more than 6 years old the febrile convulsions cease spontaneously.
There is nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
