Q. I am seeing a lot of children between 3 and 9 years of age this season who have a history of fever for 4-5 days, then they developed one or two episodes of generalised convulsion followed by loss of consciousness for a few hrs. After treatment with anti epileptic medicine, they become conscious without any neurological deficit fever subsides after a few days of treatment. What could be the D/D should they need a long-term AED in cases of encephalitis to become conscious so early? There are no meningial signs.
