Babies are prone to fever, such as catching a cold, catching a cold, or stopping eating, which may cause them to have a fever. If parents find that their baby has a fever, they need to take fever reduction measures as soon as possible. Especially during high fever, it is necessary to take medication or seek medical attention immediately. So, what causes fever and convulsions in children?
Febrile convulsions in children are caused by febrile convulsions. If a child continues to have a high fever, it is easy to develop febrile convulsions. This is a temporary disorder in the child's brain function, causing abnormal firing of neurons. Due to the immature central nervous system and weak inhibitory ability of the cerebral cortex in children, they are prone to febrile seizures.
When a child experiences febrile seizures, there will be systemic seizures and spasms. If the seizures last too long, it may cause irreversible damage to the child's brain tissue due to hypoxia. Therefore, when parents discover that their children have a fever, they must take it seriously.
When a child has a high fever, immediate measures should be taken to cool down to prevent febrile seizures. At this point, the baby can be given antipyretic medication and cooled down through physical methods such as taking a warm bath or using antipyretic patches. If there is no significant decrease in the child's body temperature after adopting the above methods, they should be promptly taken to the hospital. The doctor will take appropriate measures to lower the child's body temperature as soon as possible.
