Can febrile seizures last past age seven?


Question:
My son has had three in the last 18 months - always with a high fever; and never any before that. Are they febrile or is something else going on - and if yes, what possibly. He was 1.2 pounds at birth.

Answers:
in most cases no, most if not all happen in children under 5, With high fever. But I'm not a doctor. I cannot tell you what it could be. You should be talking to your son's doctor. Since he had such a low birth weight, the doctor should be looking real close at him anyway. I do not know what kind of insurance you have but you can make an apps. with your child's doctor without him/her seeing your child. Just a sit down in his office. Good luck to U
