Guidelines for the management of febrile seizures are presented. Intrarectal administration of diazepam (0.5 mg/kg) is the first line therapy for complex or prolonged seizures. Preventive treatment of recurrence is mainly indicated in case of complex seizures using either prolonged daily monotherapy, preferentially sodium valproate, or intermittent administration of diazepam during febrile illnesses.
