How to Handle High Fever Seizures in 7-Year-Old Children

Patient's question:

A child had a seizure during a high fever of 39°C two weeks ago, lost consciousness, and lost control of urination for 30 seconds before recovering. Previously, at the age of 3, they had a seizure that quickly resolved, and again at the age of 6, which also recovered quickly. A CT scan was normal, and an EEG previously done showed minor abnormalities. The doctor said it cannot be determined whether this is epilepsy. What should be done in this case? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Mainly caused by heat injury.
Guidance: Generally related to the issue of fire from the heart and liver disturbing the mind. Usually, the urine is slightly yellow.
Doctor's inquiry: How is the diet and urination/defecation? We know that neonatal convulsions can cause significant harm to the child. If not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and seek medical treatment promptly.
