Patient's question:
What is the reason behind the child having seizures every time they have a fever? The child is two years old, and as soon as their temperature slightly exceeds their normal body temperature, they immediately have a seizure. Each time they have a seizure, their temperature rises significantly, and the episodes occur between 8 PM and 10 PM. There have already been three episodes within the past year.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: High fever seizures are very common in infants and young children. Advice:1. High fever seizures are very common in infants and young children.
2. Based on your situation, your child is two years old. As soon as their temperature slightly rises above their normal level, they start having seizures, and each seizure causes their temperature to rise significantly. The episodes occur between 8 PM and 10 PM. Over the past year, there have been three episodes. Each time, they were treated with cephalosporin antibiotics and fever-reducing medication. There is no history of allergies. Last night, the child had a fever and some seizures. A CT scan at the hospital showed no issues, but their white blood cell count was high, and there were problems with the heart muscle. They were given cefotetan, and there has been some improvement this morning. This condition is considered complex febrile seizures, and there is a possibility of developing epilepsy.
3. It is recommended to have an electroencephalogram (EEG) test two weeks after a seizure.
