A 15-month-old child presents to the emergency department after experiencing a generalized tonic-clonic seizure lasting 3 minutes, during which his temperature was 103.5°F (39.7°C). He is now alert and playful. His past medical history is unremarkable, and he has no signs of meningeal irritation. What is the most appropriate next step in his management?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
A simple febrile seizure (generalized, <15 min, single episode in 24h, no neurological deficits post-ictally) in an otherwise healthy child typically requires only reassurance and fever control education. No further extensive workup is usually needed.
