When a baby shows symptoms of a cold and their body functions react, they may experience a fever, which is a concern for parents who worry that the baby's high fever may damage their brain. Some babies may experience febrile seizures when they have a high fever. So, why does the baby have a high fever and convulsions?
A baby experiencing high fever convulsions is usually due to dysfunction of the brain and nervous system caused by high fever, resulting in unconscious convulsions throughout the body or in certain areas, accompanied by purple lips, lifeless eyes, and consciousness disorders. If not dealt with in a timely manner, it may endanger the baby's life.
The phenomenon of general febrile seizures is quite common in infants and young children, especially when they experience seizures during high fever. When parents have a fever in their baby, they must do a good job of cooling and reducing the fever. They can use medication to cool down and reduce the fever. Medication should be taken according to the baby's age and dosage, which can effectively help the baby reduce the fever.
When a baby experiences a high fever convulsion, parents should not shake the baby. They can lay the baby flat on the bed and undo the baby's clothes. And pay attention to whether the baby has vomit, and if so, clean it up in a timely manner to prevent the vomit from blocking the baby's mouth and nose, which may cause the baby to suffocate. If the symptoms of convulsions persist, it is necessary to take the patient to the hospital to avoid delaying the treatment of the condition.
