Patient's question:
My child has had tracheal constriction a few times, but after treatment, a few days later, they developed a fever and then had convulsions. This has happened three times in the past few days. There is no hospital nearby. I want to know what's going on. If it continues for a long time, will it damage the brain?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for the recurrence of tics, such as high fever convulsions, epilepsy, cardiogenic tics, cranial brain injury, intracranial infection, electrolyte disorders, etc., which can all trigger this symptom and it is necessary to identify the cause. It is necessary to go to the hospital for thorough examinations such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), head MRI, blood ion tests, etc. Based on the examination results, symptomatic medication should be administered. If tics recur, it is essential to go to the hospital promptly for symptomatic treatment to prevent severe recurrence that may lead to breathing difficulties.
