Thanks for the query.
First of all lets make one thing clear that convulsion occuring during fever are called as febrile convulsion.
Treatment is give paracetamol for fever round the clock that is every 5-6 hourly.
Start with tab. frisium as advised by doctor once at night or in two divided doses.
But if there is gap of days between episode of fever and convulsions it may not be febrile convulsions.
Better you see your doctor.
