<s>[INST] What is a febrile seizure? [/INST] A febrile seizure typically occurs in children 6 months to 6 years of age and can happen during a rapid change in body temperature.  The seizure itself is usually less than 5 minutes and does not cause brain damage.  It will typically alarm parents, sending them to the emergency room, but no anti-seizure medication will be necessary.  The important thing to remember is to AVOID drastically lowering your child’s temperature in a cool bath. Once they come out of the cool water, if the brain still wants the body to be hotter, the temp will shoot up and that is when you can see a seizure. Source: CPMG SANDIEGO.
