Full description A febrile convulsion in a young child is incredibly stressful. Parents often think their child is dying. Currently, no specific treatment is offered to parents when their child is discharged from hospital. Our research, to be conducted across 25 hospitals, will compare the current "wait and see" approach to treatment recommendations for regular doses of paracetamol or ibuprofen to control fevers. We hope to test if the new treatment reduces the risk of more seizures occurring in the same illness
