Patient's question:
Child had high fever and convulsions a few days ago, I'm very worried. Will he have convulsions again if he has high fever in the future? What should I do? Will he leave any sequelae?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is a neurological issue caused by a cold, which has developed into a conditioned reflex state. As long as the convulsions are not excessive, there is no problem. Convulsions can also occur due to febrile seizures caused by a cold. It is important to prevent colds. If you notice that your child is lethargic and wants to sleep, you should check their temperature. When high fever occurs, necessary physical cooling measures should be taken, and avoid wearing too many clothes, then seek medical treatment at the hospital. Generally, febrile convulsions usually occur within the first 24 hours of fever, so special attention should be paid when the fever just starts. A 24-hour EEG can be performed 14 days after the fever subsides to prevent epilepsy. Please seek medical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner.
