when a child has a fit their muscles will tense up all over NEVER PUT ANYTHING INTO THEIR MOUTH unless they where eating something and it is still in there.
it is very scary for yourself to see that but it is even scarier for them to wake from
a fit.
they will wake up feeling very achy and disorientated which will probably mean a lot of crying dont cuddle them straight away if their temperature is still high because your body heat will probably top theirs up more. leave your child laying down for about half an hour until they have cooled down when your sure they are out of the fit give them a drink, and just talk to them.
if you havent called an ambulance or taken them to the hospital take them to the hospital. then take them to the docters as soon as possible as their is probably some thing wrong.
just remember i child will have a febril convulsion to because they can not lower their own temperature, basically its just the bodys way of getting rid of the heat but it usually means they need some kind of medical attention. great work to any parent who has got this far without totaly going crazy.
