The fever has probably caused the toddler's body temperature to rise too much, so causing convulsions (which are violent tremors). Strip the toddler of cloths and gently wipe the body and head with a damp, cold cloth (ignore any protests from the semi-conscious toddler) to get the body temperature down. I would also call an ambulance as an emergency. When my two year old Grandson went into convulsions (for the same reasons as above) this is what his mother and I did. The ambulance medics said that we had done the right thing to lower body temperature. Within minutes, he was running round as though there was nothing wrong! Being English, I needed several cups of tea to recover.
