A febrile CONVULSION is a fit in a child brought on by a fever. It usually affects children between six months and six years of age. It is the most common type of fit and although it can look very frightening, it is almost always harmless, even when it lasts a long time. The child usually shakes or twitches, rolls their eyes and becomes unconscious. Sometimes the child bites their tongue or wets themself. Normally the fit lasts two or three minutes and stops on its own. Occasionally, it can last up to half an hour, in which case special treatment may be needed to stop it.
