Baby's resistance is relatively poor, and if they don't pay attention to keeping warm when the weather changes, it can easily lead to fever. Parents should pay attention to their baby's fever and promptly cool them down. If the high fever persists, it should be taken to the hospital for treatment, otherwise it may cause high fever and cramps. So what's going on with a fever and convulsions in children?
Febrile convulsions in babies are also known as febrile convulsions. When a baby has a fever and their body temperature is high, it can cause convulsions throughout the body. This is a symptom caused by incomplete development of the pediatric nervous system, which is more likely to occur in babies aged half to three years old. So when a baby has a fever, parents must promptly cool down the baby to avoid febrile seizures.
After a high fever convulsion in a baby, there will be obvious convulsions, which can be manifested as twitching of the mouth and eyes, flipping of the eyes, twitching of the limbs, and in severe cases, foaming at the mouth. Some babies may experience incontinence and loss of consciousness after experiencing febrile seizures. Generally, this type of febrile seizure does not last very long and may subside in seconds or minutes.
When a baby experiences high fever and frequent convulsions, or when the convulsions last for a long time, they should be immediately taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. There is a possibility of intracranial infection and further examination and treatment are needed. If the baby has a history of febrile seizures, it is easy to experience recurrent seizures. So once parents notice that their baby has a fever, they should immediately take cooling measures to avoid febrile seizures.
