Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child likely experienced a high fever-induced febrile seizure, which is a relatively common symptom. This is mainly due to the incomplete development of the child's nervous system. Generally, such high fever-induced seizures do not leave any aftereffects, so there is no need to worry.It is recommended that you actively treat the condition causing the child's high fever. After active treatment, carefully monitor the child's temperature. Once it drops below 38.5°C, take measures to reduce the fever, such as physical cooling or taking fever-reducing medication.
