Last night, my almost 2 year old brother had a minor fever and went to bed early. My mom got up with him in the morning, and suddenly, his body went stiff and rigid and his legs and arms were twitching, and he was screaming really loud. This happened about 3 times, and has never happened in the past when he had a fever. My mom thought it was a seizure, and took him into the emergency room. The doctor, however, claims we would have been unconsious if it had been a seizure, and claims he had a "startle reflex." I find this hard to believe, but I was wondering if anyone out here would have an insight for me of what it could be. The doctors claim its virus and nothing serious, but hes never done this before!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
