A member asked:

Will that be fine to take a sleep/nap for a tot/30 months old after 2mins febrile seizures?

Dr. Adetokunboh Ajoku answered

Yes, postictal sleep: febrile seizures typically occur in children of 6 months to 6 years. The seizure lasts for less than 15 minutes and there is a postictal phase during which the child sleeps. He or she is back to normal physical and mental condition with no neurological deficit in about one hour.
