Febrile seizure/convulsions happened my 34 month daughter "duration 20 second" due to typhoid. When she is 11 month, febrile convulsion happened duration less than 60 second" due to respiratory infection with high fever. My question is (1) the reason behind it. (2) it is related to epilepsy.

Febrile convulsions are common in the paediatric age group, reason is due to irritability of brain due to toxins especially pgi group liberated during the infection, when seizure activity occuring only at the time of high fever, nothing to worry, give the antipyretic medication and cold sponging and adequate hydration at the time of fever, for further queries you better consultant a paediatrician.
