Patient's question:
What is the situation when a child, after having a high fever, suddenly wakes up from a nap and starts convulsing?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The child took traditional Chinese medicine for a period of time in a different place.
What kind of help is needed: Where is the best place to treat this condition?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. If the child experiences recurrent low fever again, it is likely caused by a virus or inflammation. Pay close attention to any other uncomfortable symptoms the child may have, and then decide on the appropriate medication, such as antiviral oral liquid or amoxicillin. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for a blood test to determine the type of infection for further treatment. If the child's temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to give them fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen promptly to avoid the risk of high fever seizures.
