What is the reason for the scalp becoming red when a child is bathing and pulling off the hair?

Patient's question:

My baby is only 10 days old. Suddenly had a seizure during bath time. Before that, the temperature was normal. During the seizure, the scalp was red, and it lasted for about 10 seconds. Afterwards, there were signs of fatigue. I don't know what the cause is. Looking forward to your reply.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is necessary to consider the possibility of causes such as high fever convulsions in children. Pay attention to drinking more water, avoiding high fever in the baby, and timely fever reduction. It is best to go to the hospital for a brain CT scan and symptomatic treatment. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
