This is very serious
Fever with seizures can be due to brain fever
Please consult a Neurosurgeon at the earliest

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Its very unlikely that meftal would cause the seizures.
The seizures could be due to the temperature.
You need to get your fever treated properly.
Take a paracetamol thrice a day after food.
Also get yourself checked out by a neurologist for further evaluation and management of the seizure problem.
Do not take it lightly.
Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain.
