Patient's question:
Since the child has been handed back to the grandmother for care, we parents often have very little time with the child due to limited training. Recently, the grandmother called and said that after the child had a high fever seizure, they felt a headache and were uncomfortable. When they came to visit, they noticed the child had become quite thin and now eats very little dinner. Occasionally, when the child feels a headache, they get angry.What kind of help is needed: Hello, is the 5-year-old child experiencing severe discomfort in their head after the high fever seizure?
Doctor's answer:
Children with seizures lasting more than 30 minutes are in a persistent state, which can lead to ischemic inflammation of brain neurons. Especially for children aged 6 months to 4 years, the brain is in a continuous stage of growth and development, and seizures cause the most significant damage to the brain. Severe seizures can result in chronic and persistent sequelae such as intellectual disability, collapse, epilepsy, and mild brain dysfunction syndrome. Mild brain dysfunction syndrome is characterized by agitation, abnormal behavior, poor concentration, emotional disorders, sensory abnormalities, language delays, learning difficulties, and more. It is recommended that you pay close attention and observe carefully in daily life.
