Fever seizures are the brain's response to rapidly rising body temperature. In some cases, febrile seizures can cause a child's body temperature to rise dramatically, increasing the risk of complications. Nursing interventions in febrile seizures are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent complications that may arise. One intervention that can be applied is the use of tepid water sponge.
