My Son had his third febrile convulsion yesterday. He had his first at 8 months, second near his first birthday and now his third about 18 months later. I had hoped he had grown out of them as he has had high temperatures and not had one. This one seemed to last longer than the other two but still he was only fitting for a couple of minutes, but felt like forever. We called 999 as he had stopped breathing and the paramedics came really quickly. Im just so scared its going to happen again and I don't want to be a neurotic mother. The doctors try to reassure me he will grow out of this, but after the first one they said that even though they are common most children don't have more than one.
