Fever is a common symptom of disease and also a symptom with a high incidence rate. When children have fever symptoms, treatment measures should be taken in time to avoid serious symptoms affecting health. In daily life, some children may experience convulsions after a fever. So what causes convulsions in children with fever?
A child's convulsions caused by a fever are commonly referred to as febrile seizures in medicine. This phenomenon is mainly due to the incomplete development of the child's nervous system, such as poor development of inhibitory functions in the child's cerebral cortex, and incomplete formation of myelin sheaths. When stimulated and excited by external stimuli, it is easy to spread, leading to convulsions in children during fever.
Fever is a serious symptom of a disease. If not treated with cooling therapy in a timely manner after onset, it can lead to high fever, which can stimulate the child's nervous system health and cause seizures. It is necessary to take timely treatment to prevent high fever from seriously affecting the child's brain health.
The convulsions caused by general fever are also known as febrile seizures, which are usually divided into simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures. The convulsions caused by simple febrile seizures belong to systemic convulsions, with a relatively short duration, generally not exceeding 10 minutes, occurring once a day, while complex febrile seizures occur multiple times a day and have a longer duration.
