Patient's question:
What should be done for febrile convulsions? On October 20th evening, the child had a low-grade fever of 40 degrees, rolling eyes, incontinence of urine, and full-body convulsions. Within minutes, the child lost consciousness. We used alcohol to wipe the child's head and back before taking them to the hospital, but the child was unconscious during the journey. Upon arrival at the hospital, the child had already started crying loudly. The child was hospitalized for 5 days and discharged.History of previous treatment and effectiveness: The child has a history of allergies but no hereditary transmission.
What kind of assistance is needed: What tests should be conducted?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has experienced another episode of twitching. First, it should be considered whether it is caused by high fever leading to febrile convulsions, but it should not be ruled out that it could be due to a brain tumor or cranial brain injury. Advice: In this case, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination, including a head CT scan, an electroencephalogram (EEG), and a transcranial Doppler, to make a definitive diagnosis. If everything is normal, then it can be considered that it is caused by high fever. At the same time, it is also important to carefully observe whether the twitching will recur repeatedly in the future.
