What is A Febrile Fit or Febrile Convulsion
The below article described what has happened to Nu'aim recently. What is a febrile convulsion? Rapid temperature increases can cause febrile convulsions. Febrile convulsions occur in young children when there is a rapid increase in their body temperature. It affects up to 1 in 20 children between the ages of one and four but can affect children between six months and about five years old. Children who are at risk may naturally have a lower resistance to febrile convulsion than others. What is the risk of suffering a febrile convulsion? Children may inherit the tendency to suffer febrile convulsion from their parents. * If either parent suffered a febrile convulsion as a child, the risk of the child getting it rises 10 to 20 per cent. *If both parents and their child have at some point suffered a febrile convulsion, the risk of another child getting it rises 20 to 30 per cent. Nevertheless, the child's susceptibility also depends on whether the child frequently gets infection
