Febrile Seizures for families from Kadapa
Fever-triggered seizures are the most common childhood neurological event. Most are benign - but knowing when to worry and what to do is vital for every parent.
Febrile seizures occur in 2–5% of children aged 6 months to 5 years during a fever episode. They are usually brief, generalized, and self-limiting. Simple febrile seizures do not cause brain damage or epilepsy in the vast majority of children. At Dr. Rampally's Kurnool clinic, we evaluate the child, assess recurrence risk, counsel families on first-aid, and decide whether EEG or further workup is needed.

Understanding this condition
Neurological conditions in children affect developmental milestones, learning abilities, and overall physical functions. A clear clinical history, developmental timeline, and specialist physical evaluation are essential steps to avoid diagnostic delay.
Dr. Swetha identifies the underlying cause by looking at both clinical symptoms and diagnostic results, guiding you to therapies that yield the best results for your child's age group.
