For the symptoms of fever in children, most parents express concern because many children are prone to convulsions during fever, and parents are worried that such symptoms will leave permanent trauma to their children. Actually, parents may also be curious about why their children are prone to fever and what are the symptoms of fever convulsions in children?
The tendency of children to have seizures after a fever is related to their physiological nature. As the child's nervous system is not yet fully developed, after experiencing high fever symptoms, the nervous system function will become disrupted, resulting in seizures. Moreover, the blood circulation of peripheral nerves in the hands and feet of children is poor. When they have a fever, the blood circulation in the hands and feet is not good, which can lead to cold hands and feet and easily cause convulsions.
When encountering a child with fever and convulsions, mothers should not panic. At this time, they should promptly put a chopstick in the child's mouth to prevent the child from biting their tongue during convulsions, and then urgently send them to the hospital for treatment. In order to cool down the child, the mother can promptly undo the child's clothes to facilitate heat dissipation.
To prevent fever convulsions, mothers should pay attention to monitoring the temperature changes of their children when they have a fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, it is advisable to give the child some antipyretic medication and seek medical attention in a timely manner to investigate the cause of the fever and treat it accordingly, in order to better prevent an increase in body temperature.
