What tests need to be done after a high fever seizure

Patient's question:

High fever of 39 degrees, convulsions, immediately sent to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, the situation is similar to transient loss of consciousness, which is most likely caused by an epileptic seizure.
Advice: In this case, it is more likely that the secondary epilepsy is caused by high fever. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, and clinical diagnosis can only be made through an electroencephalogram (EEG) or brain topography. It is important to note that EEG or other tests can only detect epileptic waves when the child is experiencing loss of consciousness. No epileptic waves will appear during non-attack periods.
It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a local reputable Grade III-A hospital in the neurology department. If the diagnosis confirms epilepsy, it is advisable to start taking antiepileptic medication promptly for treatment.
