Febrile seizures are caused by a rapid rise in body temp, usually in children under six. Both my boys had one each, and never did it again.
Fever - treat with motrin dose, and
luke-warm bath if 101 or more.
Keep rewetting head, so heat reduces.
Feel between shoulder blades with back of fingers to tell if fever is reducing.
Do not leave child unattended ever with a fever of 102, during a seizure, or of course in the bathtub.
If child seizes, lay on carpet or soft firm surface,ant turn on side.
Don't put anything in the mouth.
After seizure, take to hospital.
If seizure lasts more than several minutes, call for ambulance.

Febrile Seizures are fevers caused by fevers, and are common in infants. The important thing here is to find out the cause of the fevers. Once the fevers are gone, she sould be ok. You are a very nice young man for being so concerned of your baby sister. She is lucky to have you as a big brother.

It's completely normal. Those seizures are terrifying, yet they are completely normal.
