Many parents have encountered situations where their children have a fever. For inexperienced parents, if the fever does not subside in a timely manner after taking care of the child, it is likely to cause serious consequences such as convulsions, and even leave sequelae that affect the child's future life. So what's going on with the fever and convulsions in children?
It is likely caused by febrile seizures, such as prolonged fever and sustained high fever, which can lead to seizures. Another reason is convulsions caused by inflammation of the central nervous system, which requires hospitalization for treatment. If convulsions are caused by the former reason, they can be treated at the outpatient department.
After experiencing convulsions, parents must remain calm, as long as the time taken does not exceed 5 minutes, it will not affect the child. In addition, clean up any objects around that pose safety hazards, such as sharp chopsticks, toys, etc., to prevent children from being injured during convulsions.
When a child experiences convulsions, it is important to seek medical attention and examination as soon as possible. In order to prevent children from having convulsions due to fever, if a child's body temperature is found to be elevated, physical methods should be used to cool it down in a timely manner, and then treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, which can help the child reduce fever as soon as possible and prevent convulsions from occurring.
