Febrile convulsion-MD/DCH/DNB Pediatrics exam preparation

Febrile convulsions-one of the most common causes of convulsions in less than 5 years. I have tried to touch upon the most important points and given a general outline about management. The investigations, management and risk assessment has to be individualized on a case to case basis. The lecture is only to help medical students and healthcare professionals to understand the basic concepts and enable them to approach a case/write in theory exams.I would like to reiterate that the information provided is a compendium of data obtained from various sources and the rights lie with the respective authors.
P.S If I seem rushed in the end-it’s because my son was pounding on the door bawling his eyes out. Sorry ☹

[@raviparihar8305]

Whom to give intermittent febrile prophylaxis? U also said side-effects outweigh the benifits of giving.then why to give it at all?

[@pediatrictakesbydr.pavitra9813]

prophylaxis only for high risk cases(meaning Risk of progression to epilepsy, as per the table) and to be determined on a case to case basis. It is individualised and cannot be generalised because the risk is different for each child doctor

[@raviparihar8305]

Case to case basis like if pt lives far off from health care facility or the one who has recurrent febrile convulsions. In such situation prophylaxis can be given. This means intermittent febrile prophylaxis works nd if given in time can prevent it. Second u said it can be given in those pts where risk of future epilepsy is more. But I m not convinced that prophylaxis has any role in preventing development of future epilepsy in such pts. One more query pts with FS in age group 6monts to 1 yr only get hib as part of pentavalent vaccine in government setup nd dnt receive pneumococcal vaccination.Going by the criteria shud all these kids in this age group undergo lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. Sorry for the inconvenience but need clarification Ma'am.🙏🙏

[@pediatrictakesbydr.pavitra9813]

@@raviparihar8305 you give in high risk cases, because there is a risk of recurrence of convulsion-febrile or fever provoked- not to reduce risk of epilepsy sir. The prophylaxis will hold seizures at bay atleast till we can refer them to a neurologist or till we can demonstrate a specific epilepsy type so that specific anti epileptic therapy can be initiated. This is the rationale I think. Neurologists might be in a better position to answer this question doctor. Please do not hesitate to ask questions-it motivates me to learn more
