Fever and seizures for 6 months old
Dear doctors, my daughter who is 6 months old was suffered with 101 F fever on last Monday. Suddenly in the night, she suffered with seizures. We hurried and took her to hospital. After 5-7 mins during travel the seizure gets stopped. Admitted her in hospital. She had seizures 2 more times in hospital in 7hrs gap each time. Fever last for 2 days and stopped by paracetamol itself. Blood test, urine test and EEG scan results normal and doctor proposed for MRI. Can some one helps me to understand whether it's caused by fever alone? Or is it some abnormal electro signals triggered in brain? If later, what could be reason for these abnormal electro sognals. Please suggest.

most probably baby is having febrile seizures
MRI BRIAN was basically advised to rule out any other abnormalities.

This could be febrile seizures. Yes you are right, these are due to abnormal electric signals from the brain.
In this case it could be due to high fever which brain is not able to tolerate. It will subside once the fever reduces. This is common in children. Nothing to worry.
