You are seeing an 18-month-old brought in by ambulance for simple febrile seizure that lasted 2 minutes. You have determined the source of his fever to be viral URI with acute otitis media. He has fully recovered, his temperature has normalized (from 40C) with antipyretic, and he is interactive and playful now. His neurologic exam is normal, and he has no significant past medical history. His parents are asking about whether this will happen again, whether he is at higher risk of epilepsy, and whether he will have any negative neurologic outcome.
