Patient's question:
Will a high fever seizure affect the baby's brain? Does it convulse easily when the temperature is above 39 degrees? I'm very afraid that a high fever seizure will affect the baby's brain development.Doctor's answer:
If a baby experiences high fever seizures multiple times, it may be possible to cause brain damage, because during high fever seizures, due to the inhibition of breathing and lack of oxygen to the brain, it can lead to cerebral cortex edema, which can cause further brain damage upon recurrence. Therefore, active prevention of high fever seizures is necessary. Once the baby's temperature reaches 37.8°C, it is important to take fever-reducing medication immediately, and then take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for follow-up. Do not delay.
