You might want to get off the forum and get on the phone with a family member, bro.

And don't panic.

There's someone there depending on you to keep a level head.

[[*N*]Sal0713]

I can't get ahold of anybody.

Hope everything is ok

[[*N*]Sal0713]

I just got a called from my mom, it seems that my almost 2 year old niece was having a fever and had a convulsion, but she seems to be responding. She recognized her mom, dad, and my mom so shes OK for now.

Has she been eating on a regular basis lately or having problems with appetite?

I hope everything turns out OK.

[[*N*]Sal0713]

is hard to tell shes always hyper but this morning she was being a brat whinning a bit and all but its her usual routine after she wakes up.

[Deutscher75]

If she hasn't been eating, her body could have gone into ketosis due to lack her being so active and lack of carbs, which at her age can be dangerous and cause both the fever and the convulsions. However, if she has been eating regularly the same symptoms can be a sign that she isn't producing insulin properly for sugar and glycogen control, which results from increased activity in the hypothalamus causing confusion of the pituitary and also causes the brain to overheat, thus causing the fever and the convulsions.

 

Or she could have a bad strain of the flu, which can be extremely severe in nature on a baby's body of her age that hasn't had time to properly develop immunity to all primary strains of the virus.

Sounds like a seizure from an ear infection. My son had this happen when he was 18 months and SCARED THE CRAP out of me!!

 

What happens is the ear infection causes a fever and spikes REALLY fast. The body reacts by shutting down and the result is the seizure. My GF's daughter had one that lasted 45 minutes, they sent her by flight for life to Milwaukee. My son's lasted 5 minutes which was long enough for me.

Don't be afraid to have children dude, Modern Medicine exists for a reason, it saves lives.

 

There's at least 3 dozen reasons that could explain the situation. Hopefully it's nothing serious that can be resolved quickly.

Good to hear man, sounds like everything is good....Bet your more relaxed now a bit huh?

epileptic attack?

 

Unlikely, epileptic attack wouldn't cause or be caused by a fever, and she wouldn't have been released this quick, she would have been kept overnight if not longer for observation.

[CDBS14]

right, kinda weird, maybe low sugar or something, is she diabetic?

The fever could have been normal, its bout that time of year anyways...

 

The siezure could have been a diabetic shock. Or maybe a hard hit from a fall to slip ,cna bring in something that resembles a seizure,

Unlikely to be diabetic shock as well, because her urine would be dangerously dark brown days before this occurred and would have aroused suspicion. Also if it was a diabetic attack they'd be keeping her, because a baby couldn't recover from a diabetic attack by herself, especially not quickly enough to be released within 3 hours.

[CDBS14]

or she is just a seizure person.

again the fever was sudden, a random seizure wouldn't explain the fever, re-read the details of the situation before you comment
