It could have been a febrile seizure, as they can look like a startle reflex. The doctor who said it is uncommon for them to occur that repeatedly, that close together could be correct, but I just wanted you to know that my son's febrile seizure did look like a startle, and then he started bawling as well. The--out of control--bawling.
Whether it was a febrile seizure or some other type of reaction from a fever, you may never know. It is difficult as a parent not knowing something about your child, but fevers can cause different reactions in children, and believe it or not---fevers themselves are not dangerous. They are the bodies reaction to fighting off infection, and they are a good thing!
