My 4 year old son now 15 yrs had febrile seizzures around 1 and a half years back( 2 episodes after a gap of 4 months). From then we are giving frissium ( half tablet) along with crocin whenever he has even 99 fever. Till when should we give frissium and will it affect his health in future?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to clarify that febrile seizures do not occur at the age of 15. By definition, febrile seizures occur only from the ages of six months to six years. Any seizure occurring in a child above 6, associated with fever, is classified as epileptic seizure, and needs to be treated with anti-epileptic medications. Your child also needs detailed evaluation with MRI brain epilepsy protocol and EEG. Frisian is safe for him, but half tablet may not be able to prevent the next seizure from occurring. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
