Abstract
Childhood febrile seizures, although primarily benign, can be frightening and anxiety-provoking events for parents and caregivers. It is important that health care providers understand potential parental misconceptions, anxieties and fears about fever and febrile seizures so that they may allay those fears effectively. The healthcare provider also needs to assess parental reactions to the occurrence of febrile seizure and to determine the coping patterns utilized as well as to detect any disruptions in parent-child interactions. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the costs of treatment for initial febrile seizures as well as health services utilization. The majority of FS is simple and has a benign outcome in spite of its tendency for recurrences. Most of the times they abort spontaneously and therefore do not require any specialized management. Therefore, it is important to convey this relatively good prognosis to parents and alleviate their concerns.
