hi. in regards to fevers I was told conflicting advice also. My doctor has told me to give the fever medicine to reduce the fever and stay on top of it but when I was in the ER after my daughter had her first feberal seizure. they told me that giving medicine doesn't prevent the seizures. My daughter was 11 months when she had her first seizure and just a few weeks ago at 20 months she had her second. I can asure you that before leaving to bring her to the hospital I gave her medicine for her fever which I had been staying on top of all day. although the medicine wouold help in bringing her fever down a little, it was still pretty high so i decided i should bring her to hospital. like I said I gave her tylenol about 1/2 hour before leaving but she ended up having a seizure in the car on her way down. I think the best thing is to keep as little clothes as possible on so there body temperature stays down. just thought i would share my experience with you.
