You do not breath when you are having a seizure that is where you get O2 deprivation. So when people have seizure that last long periods of time that is why they get brain damage.

you do not breath when seizing and lack of O2 can be bad. I would say as long as your child is tolerating lots of liquids and the fever does not get to high above 101 ride it out and let the immune system work. If they start to get lethargic or they stop taking liquids or it gets to high call your doctor.

I can't find this anywhere in literature about febrile seizures -- can you tell me where to find it? All I find is statements that febrile seizures do NOT cause brain damage. - Giager <navydoc44@...> wrote: You do not breath when you are having a seizure that is where you get O2 deprivation.

I do not have literature just common sense and years of working in an ER. I agree that most seizures do not cause harm. Febrile seizures are not a reason for worry because you know what caused it in the first place, but I stand by my statement that any seizure lasting longer than five minutes will have the possibility to cause brain damage.
