Patient's question:
Hello expert! I have a seven-month-old girl who has been very healthy. She had a fever once when she was six and a half months old, but it was cured after injections and medication. Around August 2005, she had a fever that caused a high fever seizure, but thankfully, it was a scare without any danger. However, a few days ago, in late December, one morning I noticed she had a fever. I measured her temperature, and it was 37.4 degrees Celsius. I gave her half a pack of "Hao Wang Hao," but by noon, she still had a high fever seizure. I'm very worried—is there something wrong with her brain or somewhere else? Why does she always have a seizure whenever she has a fever?Doctor's answer:
High fever convulsions are a manifestation of underdeveloped brain. They are generally more common in children aged 1-3 years, with fewer cases occurring after the age of 3. It is rare for children over 5 years old to develop this condition, and those who do are more likely to progress to epilepsy.We know that neonatal convulsions have a significant impact on children. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
