Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years and 8 months old. During the National Day holiday, she had a high fever seizure. She had also experienced one at the age of 1 year and 4 months. I am wondering if having two high fever seizures would have a severe impact on her brain? Should she receive oxygen therapy after the seizure? I feel her memory isn't as good as before—she quickly forgets where she placed things. How should I take care of her after the illness? What should I pay attention to regarding her diet? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
In this case, caring for the baby mainly involves reducing body temperature. If the baby has frequent convulsions, it can cause damage to brain cells. Therefore, it is important to prevent the baby from getting a fever as much as possible. Drink more water regularly to prevent colds, pay attention to adding or removing clothes when the weather changes, and measure the baby's temperature frequently. Seek early treatment if a drop in temperature is detected. The diet should be light, with more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. Oxygen therapy is not necessary.
