English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Medical (general) / seize
English term or phrase: seize
He's too hot! He's going to seize.

I know there is no much context. The situation is someone has a fever and his temperature getting higher quickly. And the medical stuff trying their best to decrease the temperature. And one of them said the sentence.

Thanks,
