Accepted Answer

Most children outgrow febrile seizures by age 5. Few children have more than 3 febrile seizures in their lifetime. The number of febrile seizures is not related to future risk for epilepsy. Children who would develop epilepsy anyway will sometimes have their first seizures during fevers.
