Antihistaminic Induced Febrile Seizure – An Important association: a Case report

Abstract

The histamine H1 receptor antagonist (antihistamines) are an important class of commonly used medications for the relief of symptoms associated with common cough and cold occurring in children. We report two cases of antihistaminic induced febrile seizure in children below five year. We consider importance of reporting such cases in view of their common usage and propensity to provoke seizure in susceptible children.
