Doctor's answer:
In this case, if the child does not exhibit symptoms such as anorexia, vomiting, crying, or convulsions, it is still important to monitor the child's mental state and temperature changes.Advice: There is no problem in this situation if the child does not have many special symptoms. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to the child's temperature changes. If there are no other special symptoms, there is no major issue. If it recurs, it may be necessary to visit the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination.
I hope this is helpful to you, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
