Febrile Seizures

When a child presents with a seizure and fever, the priority is to differentiate between a simple and complex febrile seizure. A simple seizure is generalized, lasts less than 15 minutes, and does not recur within 24 hours. A complex seizure is prolonged, focal, or recurs. The key takeaway is that antipyretics do not prevent febrile seizures, and the focus of assessment is identifying the source of the fever, not routinely performing extensive labs or imaging in simple cases.
