Does high fever convulsions in children affect the brain?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can high fever seizures in children affect the brain?

Doctor's answer:

Your child's condition is unclear whether they had a fever during the seizure. If they had a fever, it might be a high fever seizure. If they didn't have a fever, it could be epilepsy. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce scolding the baby in the future. Your condition might be a wind-cold cold with coughing, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.
