Febrile seizures parents should know
What parents need to know about a seizure during a fever. When to get emergency care, and when to ask for a neurology visit.
The blog
Pediatric neurology articles
Written to parents, not as shorter versions of the adult articles.

What parents can expect
A pediatric neurology visit is for a child with seizures, headaches, attention questions, or a change in development. Dr. Shawn Sedgh completed three years of pediatrics residency and three years of neurology residency.
Parents often continue to epilepsy and seizures, febrile seizures, or what a neurologist adds for ADHD. The Los Angeles page is pediatric neurology in Los Angeles.
Adult symptoms belong on adult neurology. To ask for a visit, request an appointment and mark the patient as a child.
