What is the difference between febrile convulsions and epileptic convulsions?

The difference between the two

Epilepsy is an episodic symptom that is sometimes difficult to diagnose. Some epilepsy symptoms are convulsions, others may be impaired consciousness, absence, or changes in sensory and mental state.

But febrile seizures are convulsions, and generally do not show absence of consciousness or other symptoms. But in terms of convulsions, febrile seizures are the same as epilepsy. However, the EEG between attacks of febrile seizures is normal, but the EEG between attacks of epilepsy is mostly abnormal. If you have repeated convulsions during a fever, for example, two or even three or four times in a fever of two or three days, this may not be febrile seizures, but epilepsy.

In addition, the vast majority of febrile convulsions occur infrequently. If a patient has 5, 6 or even more febrile convulsions, be careful that he may have epilepsy. He may go from febrile convulsions to afebrile convulsions and finally turn into epilepsy.
