A member asked:
My 2.5yr sometimes gets febrile seizure..he is sleeping. do i need to wake him up to give him motrin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: I never recommend waking a sleeping child for fever meds. Also, I am sure know, that febrile seizures normally occur at the onset of the fever. If he has had the fever, he should be okay.
