Question
What causes pediatric fever and seizures?
Answer
Fever-related seizures are a possible symptom that can occur during a child’s fever, usually due to an underdeveloped nervous system’s reaction to high temperatures. This phenomenon typically ceases after the age of five and may have a genetic predisposition. Parents can consult their family history to understand if there is a genetic tendency for febrile seizures. Generally, as children grow older, this condition disappears naturally.
