Article Synopsis
- Febrile seizures (FS) are frightening for parents, typically occurring in young children aged six months to five years during a fever, and are generally benign and self-resolving.
- Although FS usually resolves without complications, the high risk of recurrence indicates a need for better understanding and management strategies among caregivers and medical professionals.
- The review evaluates current treatment options for FS, emphasizes the importance of diagnostic tools like CT scans and EEGs to rule out other causes, and seeks to determine the effectiveness of existing pharmacotherapy based on recent research.
