Dr. Elie Salem Pediatrics
your daugther has a febrile seizure febrile seizure can be divided into one simple febrile seizure and complex febrile seizure, seizure can occur even if baby has 38 degree fever, no side effects for febrile seizure, or any future sequelae, for anxious parents we can offer them valium drops to be given to the child during febrile episodes, otherwise patient should be examine to know the cause of the fever because baby might have otits media in that case he needs antibiotics and not to be given antibiotics for viral illness which he only needs antipyretics
