Febrile seizures: If you suspect that your child is going to be sick with a febrile illness begin either Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen).Secondly, put him in a warm bath and let him sit there for a half hour. This will also make his fever more managable.

Be proactive: Intitute efforts to control fever as soon as yoiur child shows any sign of illness, even before fever occurs. this means using acetaminophen and or ibuprofen. Ask yoiur docor about an appropriate dose of each. If fever occurs sponge your child down or him in a tub with tepid water. Do not use cold water because it will make him shudder and build up central temperature.
