What is a common sign of an infection related to a child's seizure episode?

A common sign of an infection related to a child's seizure episode is hot and moist skin. When a child is experiencing an infection, their body temperature often rises as part of the immune response. This can lead to increased perspiration, resulting in skin that feels warm and may appear moist to the touch. The body's attempt to regulate temperature through sweating can manifest in this way, and it's essential to monitor these symptoms during a seizure event, as they may indicate an underlying infection.

In the context of other conditions — cold and clammy skin typically suggests shock or reduced perfusion rather than infection; pale and dry skin might indicate dehydration or poor circulation but does not align with the typical response to an infection; warm but dry skin may signal a fever or heat-related illness, but the lack of moisture would not align with the usual presentation of infection.
