Febrile seizure
My daughter has been having high fever and throat infection. Twice in between high fever of over 103 she became disoriented, the docs have said it is febrile seizure. There is no clenching of body, both times she was in sleep, when I woke her up for temperature, she just stared at me, unable to say her name of anything.lasted for less than 5 mins. It happens when her fever starts subsiding not when it's very high.i am worried if she will be epilipetic for life..she is 6 years 6 months

It might be fever trigger seizure disorder, as per her age, I would suggest you to go for detailed neurological assessment, do consult. There is need of EEG and also other tests, depending upon the situation. Also, she needs medication to prevent further episodes and subsequent consultation. Note, it is NOT febrile seizure. Febrile seizure usually occurs in younger children.
