Simple Febrile Seizure in Child Aged 3.4
My Child seem to be healthy all these years however he used to have frequent Chest Congestion (may be once a month or once in two months) which used to go away after getting some antibiotics from his pediatrician. However on Feb 27 2017, he had very high fever and at around 8 PM he got seizure (FIRST TIME IN LIFE SOMETHING LIKE THIS EVER HAPPEN TO HIM). Then I took him to Hospital where doctor told he is fine and gave some medicine for bringing the fever down and then for chest infection. They dint give any treatment for seizure as they felt its very common in kids and it only happened due to high fever (103 F). They also did some blood tests and all seem to be normal. They just said next time make sure the fever doesn't go beyond 100 and take him to hospital to figure out the cause for fever and get him treated. But I'm still worried. Is this really normal or is there any chances of it reoccurring again?

Simple febrile seizure, even, if occurs again does not have any long term bad effects on brain development of your child.

This is called febrile seizures. It's quite common below 6yrs. If his development is normal and happening normal in future and is not getting seizures without fever, it's a benign condition which subsides after 6yrs of age. Yes he is prone for seizure again when ever her gets high fever.
