Patient's question:
Here: In November 2009, the child had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius again, followed by a seizure that lasted about 10 minutes. The seizure was painless, and the child's mouth was foaming with white bubbles. Second: On March 4, 2010, the child had a high fever of 38.6 degrees Celsius and went to the hospital. Just after getting buttock-pain relieving medication...Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this is due to high fever seizures caused by a rapid drop in body temperature. High fever seizures are more likely to occur in children aged 5 months to 6 years, as their nervous system development is not yet fully mature. When the body temperature drops too quickly, the nervous system cannot adjust in time, leading to seizures.Recommendations:
- When the body temperature is below 38°C, actively use physical cooling methods, drink plenty of water, and apply lukewarm water mixed with alcohol to wipe the body to help reduce fever.
- When the body temperature drops below 38°C, promptly use fever-reducing medication, such as rectal suppositories (e.g., acetaminophen suppositories) or oral nimesulide.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has a fever and seizures?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
