My 23 month-old son has Febrile Seizures that started at about 15 months. My pediatrician also told me to give him a regime of tylenol and ibuprofen, rotate every 3-4 hours.
They have never mentioned anything to me regarding Roseola, but i've never noticed a rash either.
Over the past couple of months, he has had about 5 seizures .. the fever has/was always thought to be triggered by an illness (strep, ear infections, bronchitis, etc-- he has had all of the mentioned) However, the last few seizures occured suddenly, with no underlying virus or bacteria, that could be detected. In fact, I had had him into his Doctor ealry one morning for a general followup to his strep throat treatment.. he checked out prefectly.. ears, throat, lungs were all clear. That evening he had two seizures nad a fever of 103.6 at it's highest. The fever was brought on suddenly, and broke as suddenly as it came. The doctor didn't find any underlying virus to cause the sudden fever.
I'm now to a point where I am calm and able to handle his seizures, but concerned about what is causing the sudden spike and break in fever.
FYI-- I also sleep on the floor of my son's room on nights he has seized-- I hate the fact that he would experience it without me being by his side. :)
