Maybe/not: Fever can trigger seizures in normal kids but can also indicate a brain infection or other issue.When they trigger it in normal kids, the temp is high & comes on rapidly (minutes). The kid returns to almost normal appearance within minutes. If it is part of a worrisome process, the kid remains sickly. Any seizure in a kid requires a doc visit.
