GP review: Jerky movements in babies are common, so long as baby is feeding well and otherwise happy there is probably not too much cause for alarm. However if the fever hasn't settled with the -Amos or if your baby is not immunised then you should see your family doctor or call healthline asap.

Jitteriness: In babies as dr large said can be common. I would usually however recommend a doctor check as can be a nonspecific sign of illness. I would also be surprised if the oral thrush was the cause of the fever. If examines normally this can be somewhat reassuring. If in doubt then usually further assessment and observation can be arranged and this usually sorts things out.

Fever fits: A febrile convulsion is a seizure that happens with a fever. Many infections in children cause fevers. In some children the fever triggers a convulsion. It is usually related to a fast rise in temperature, not how high the temperature is. Febrile convulsions are also called fever fits, or febrile seizures.
