Patient's question:
Child is 1 year and 3 months old. Last time had a fever and twitched, now just a cold causes twitching, 5 to 8 times a day, varying. When twitching, the whole body trembles, and the expression is unclear. Each episode lasts 10 to 30 seconds.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is called febrile convulsions. Febrile convulsions are divided into two categories: simple and complex. Simple febrile convulsions occur during high fever, usually only once per illness, and the duration is short. Your baby's condition is complex, with multiple episodes of convulsions. This requires excluding febrile epilepsy, and your baby needs to undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG). If abnormalities are found, oral anticonvulsant medication may be necessary. Additionally, it is important to administer antipyretic medication promptly with each fever to minimize the recurrence of convulsions.
