The effect of different oral dose Diazepam on preventing seizure in Febrile Convulsion

Abstract

Background: Febrile convulsion (FC) is one of the most common causes of seizure in children. Oral Diazepam or oral Midazolam are two mostly recommended drugs for FC prevention, but the effectiveness of these drugs remains controversial. Prophylactic use of oral anticonvulsant drugs is thus a questionable practice. This study was carried out to compare the effect of using different Diazepam dose on the prevention of seizure in FC.
