Unlikelyfebrileseizu: Febrile seizures are usually "outgrown".No medicine is required, a typical febrile seizure is a single event of short duration.Complex febrile seizures can be multiple and longer.A child of 6 yrs with 15+ episodes needs to see a neurologist as this scenario is inconsistent.Fevers lower our seizure threshold - so for people with seizure disorders are more likely to have increased events when ill

By age 6 yrs: Febrile seizures usually subside by age 6 yr.if they are continuing you need to see a pediatric neurologist,get an EEG and then decide on treatment
