What to Do for a Seizure
Fever can cause a seizure (SEE-zher) in some young children. Seizures are scary, but usually harmless. Your child may look strange, shake, then stiffen and twitch.
His or her eyes may roll. If this happens:
-
Lay your child down on the floor or a bed.
-
Turn your child's head to the side. That way, spit or vomit can drain out.
-
Don't put anything in your child's mouth.
-
Call the doctor.
The doctor should always check your child after a seizure.
