R5 year, repeated febrile seizure

my girl 5 years 6 months old, weiht 21 Kgs, She has history convulsion.Since 8 months olds, until now, she has 13 times convulsion,
=== in such conditions its important to know the milestones in the child. most often they are likely to be delayed. convulsions withd elayed milestones seem to be refractory at times.
Last convulsion On March 2008, degres 38.4 celcius.We alreday prepare at home, ibuprofen 12.5mg supository, paracetamol 125 mg syrup , and Diazepam supository (this is to be given if she has convulsion).
======= so it was treated as a febrile seizure, usually febrile seizures dont come so often. [;s read about febrile seizures: at http://drpeds.blogspot.com/search/label/febrile%20seizure%20query

> Question:
>
> 1.When this convulsion will be go away?
=== when it has been diagnosed and evaluated properly. at times she may need long duration of anticonvulsants. like say clobazam therapy.

> 2. I have read in one literature (fibrile seizure=convulsion is caused by not enough Ca (calcium), so please advise from what kind of food to be given ( contain much calcium) if need calcium?
=== rather low calcium is a common cause of seizure than febrile seizure even if it comes with fever. not food, but cAlcium and vitamin D supplements are more imortant in preventing them.
> 3.Some time she tell us that she has painful in calf of leg and thigh of leg,the paitfil is not continue, but some time come with range.we care of this, because one time when she said pain in his calf , after that she get Pain with 37.7 degres
=== pain in calf is more common with low calcium and/or fever. regular calcium supplements may help this overcome.
