A member asked:
Possible for my 6y child to suffer from a first time febrile seizure early on in pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A common definition includes development of a brief <5min seizure that occurs in kids 6m-6yr associated with rapid rise of temperature. A common scene is a child found shaking & parents realizing they were febrile when they pick them up. More details would be needed to properly label the event but it could occur.
