Dr. Scott J. Wolfson answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Needs evaluation: It is not normal to have a seizure. If your baby is having abnormal movements or seizing with or without fever, he/she should be promptly evaluated by a doctor/pediatric neurologist.

Epilepsy: Seizures without fever in infants are very serious. You should seek medical attention.
