Well, seizures or seizure activity is not that uncommon in the pediatric population. Between the ages of 1 and 3, there tends to be a higher incidence of seizure related to high fever – we call that spiking the fever – and this sometimes will trip the mechanism in the brain and cause a seizure to start. These events usually last a minute or two and are generally not that dangerous in and of themselves. There are some old treatments and ideas including going in to try to protect the victim’s tongue and so forth, but these have proven to be actually dangerous to do. So we really don’t want you going in the mouth of a seizure victim. There may be some additional salivating and/or bleeding from biting their own tongue, or cheek or lip, but this is just incidental and I wouldn’t worry much about it. It is, however, time to call 911. We prefer that you do not transport the seizure victim to the emergency room by yourself in the event that there may be another seizure, this is much better to have paramedics with this baby or child.
