My son had one when he was bout 20 months. I was pregnant with no 4 at the time so had been doing my usual and watching baby progs and those a&e ones and remembered seeing an episode bout them. Once I figured out what was happening, I just went into autopilot and stripped him down to his nappy, laid him on his side in the bathroom and kept wiping a cold wet flannel over him. We did go hospital in an ambulance as we didn't have a cuase and it turned out his glands were up and they said one ear was slightly inflamed inside too so coupled with the hot weather (this was last summer) it spiked his temp and caused the convulsion.
He's been fine since but I know what u mean, for the rest of that summer I was scared it mite happen again!! And, like me, if it does(godforbid)happen again, u'll prob go into autopilot because it's ur little girl.
