If fever is not treated immediately, seizures can occur in toddlers which endangers the toddler's safety. In Indonesia, it was reported that the incidence of febrile seizures was 3-5% of children aged 5-6 months in 2017-2018. This figure continues to increase to 6% in 2019. Fever is one of the symptoms that can be treated with self-medication.
