A febrile seizure, also known as a fever fit or febrile convulsion, is a seizure associated with a high body temperature but without any serious underlying health issue.[1] They most commonly occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.[1][3] Most seizures are less than five minutes in duration, and the child is completely back to normal within an hour of the event.[1][4] There are two types: simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures.[1] Simple febrile seizures involve an otherwise healthy child who has at most one tonic-clonic seizure lasting less than 15 minutes in a 24-hour period.[1] Complex febrile seizures have focal symptoms, last longer than 15 minutes, or occur more than once within 24 hours.[5] About 80% are classified as simple febrile seizures.[6]
Febrile seizures are triggered by fever, typically due to a viral infection.[6] They may run in families.[1] The underlying mechanism is not fully known, but it is thought to involve genetics, environmental factors, brain immaturity, and inflammatory mediators.[7][8][6] The diagnosis involves verifying that there is not an infection of the brain, there are no metabolic problems, and there have not been prior seizures that have occurred without a fever.[1][6] Blood testing, imaging of the brain, or an electroencephalogram (EEG) is typically not needed.[1] Examination to determine the source of the fever is recommended.[1][6] In otherwise healthy-looking children a lumbar puncture is not necessarily required.[1]

One thing i know for sure it runs in the family. I had this problem and now my 3 kids.

[@pediatric_doctor_at_home]

That is correct, it tends to run in families. Thankfully febrile seizures are mostly benign.

[@purnimakumari9442]

I also throughout this but in front of doctor... So he also pour water on her immediately.

[@MedicalCentric]

It sounds like you're describing a situation where someone experienced a febrile seizure, and a doctor intervened by pouring water on the person. Febrile seizures can occur in young children during a fever, and they are often brief and not typically harmful. The water-pouring action might have been a cooling measure to help reduce the person's body temperature. However, it's important to note that treating febrile seizures should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If someone experiences a febrile seizure, it's advisable to seek medical attention promptly to ensure appropriate care and to determine the underlying cause of the fever. Always follow the advice and recommendations of healthcare professionals when managing such situations.

is this exclusive to children?

[@Noone-rl6jp]

It is from age 6month to 6 years mainly

[@epicedits2334]

It can happen to adults rarely. Usually if it happens to adults it is more serious and may be due to an actual underlying condition.

[@pediatric_doctor_at_home]

Yes, febrile seizures occur only in children typically between 6months to 6 years. If seizures happen with fever outside of this age range, there must be an evaluation for the cause.

@@pediatric_doctor_at_home I remember my mom saying I had one when I was months old, and the doctor saying I had to avoid having it again or I might keep getting them, never had any after though.
