Patient's question:
5-year-old boy. He has a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius every time and becomes irrational. Now, the Capital Children's Research Institute has diagnosed it as a high fever caused by a respiratory syncytial virus infection and bacterial infection. How to prevent it?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of assistance is needed: How to prevent transmission.
Doctor's answer:
When a child has a high fever, they may experience a fit, which should be considered as a febrile seizure. This time, the high fever is likely caused by mycoplasma and bacterial infection.1. Actively treat the mycoplasma and bacterial infection.
2. In the future, when the child has a fever again, regardless of the temperature, please seek medical attention promptly and bring fever-reducing medication. If necessary, take oral medication first and then follow up, without waiting for the temperature to drop below 38.5°C.
Additionally, you can keep some sedatives at home (such as phenobarbital and diazepam). Once the child has a fever again, you can give them a dose to reduce central nervous system excitement and increase the likelihood of another febrile seizure.
