Children with febrile convulsions usually recover spontaneously. The majority of children with febrile convulsions have a good prognosis and recover with age without affecting their cognitive function or behavior, but a small percentage of children may still develop epilepsy. Febrile convulsions are the most common convulsive disorder in infants and young children. The pathogenesis is complex and may be genetically related, and no evidence of brain damage due to febrile convulsions has been found, so over-treatment should be avoided, and anticonvulsant medications can be used only when necessary and may recur after the fever has subsided. When children have febrile convulsions, parents should send them to the hospital for standardized diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid delays.
