Can a seizure occur from high Fever in a patinet with only Tonic-Clonic seizures

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-08-29] [Hit: ]
3] if older child teen,4] if patient is under six, many times the doctor may order follow up tests rule out a seizure disorder,PS: each of my sons had one febrile seizure each [ at exactly the same age - 20 months ]; and no furthur seizure actitvity, ever. Thank God.......
My understanding is fever can cause seizure in patients who only have tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures, but its extremely rare. So how would a physician differentiate between a febrile seizure and a tonic-clonic seizure in a patient with high fever?

-
1] febrile seizures are rare in adults, but can and do happen to children under six more often
2] if this is a first time seizure, and the patient is under six years old; the doctor will likely diagnose a febrile seizure
3] if older child teen, or adult; the doctor will def order follow up tests to test for seizure disorder
4] if patient is under six, many times the doctor may order follow up tests rule out a seizure disorder, anyway

PS: each of my sons had one febrile seizure each [ at exactly the same age - 20 months ]; and no furthur seizure actitvity, ever. Thank God.
