First Aid for a Baby Who's Having a Febrile Seizure

The baby or child may arch their back, stiffen their body, and have clenched fists. They look red-faced, be hot to touch, and are sweating.

Protect the baby or child from injury. Do not restrain them. 

When the seizure is over, help the baby or child to rest on their side with their head tilted back. If the symptoms continue or it is their first seizure, seek medical advice.
