Most parents will use fever-lowering medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen during a child's illness. However, these medications will only offer symptom relief and make the child feel more comfortable. Studies have shown that they do not reduce the chance of a Febrile Seizure.
Doctors do not recommend taking anti-seizure medications to prevent recurrence of Febrile Seizure as these regular medications have potential side effects and do not outweigh the benefits. As Febrile Seizures are usually short-lived and harmless, anti-seizure medications will not be recommended routinely.
Anti-convulsants are rarely prescribed unless your child has other neurological problems. Your doctor will discuss this with you.
