Your child probably having febrile seizures. That means whenever fever comes he may get convulsions if fever shoots up high. This will be there till 5 to 6 years of age and later it won't continue. Till then you have to give febrile seizures prophylaxis. That is
1. Paracetamol round the clock
2. Meftal p or Ibugesic for high fever
3. Frisium Tablet for 2 days.(prevent seizures)
4. Midacip is an anti convulsant , should be used only if convulsions are there to stop the same.
Till 5 years whenever fever comes you should give above medications for initial two days.
Next Steps
Ask your pediatrician for correct dosages of the medications.
