Patient's question:
How to deal with a nine-year-old child who frequently has sore throats, high fever, and seizures? How old will they stop having seizures? Thank you. Since childhood, they have had high fever and seizures about five or six times. What kind of help do you want: How to treat and prevent it? How old will they stop having seizures? Will it affect the child's intelligence?Doctor's answer:
This falls under the category of febrile seizures, which are common emergency symptoms of central nervous system dysfunction in children, more prevalent in infants and toddlers, with an onset age range of 6 months to 5 years. It is less common in children aged 9. For a child of this age experiencing fever and convulsions, two possible causes should be considered: intracranial infection or toxic encephalopathy, or epilepsy. An electroencephalogram (EEG) can help rule out epilepsy. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 9-year-old child frequently has stomach problems, a sore throat, low fever, and convulsions?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
