Patient's question:
The first time, I had a fever of 39.5°C and experienced muscle cramps. The second time, it was 38.2°C, and I had cramps. The fever came on very quickly, and it was difficult to reduce with sedatives and fever reducers. The high fever led to cramps, occurring three times a day, and they all happened at the hospital. The third time, I had cramps because of the fever the next day, and it also happened at the hospital. A 24-hour dynamic EEG showed epileptic waves.Doctor's answer:
The current convulsions are believed to be caused by high fever seizures or epilepsy, both of which can lead to tetanic spasms in the limbs. If the fever persists, it is considered a more severe case of high fever seizures, and medication should be administered as soon as possible, including fever-reducing drugs and anticonvulsant medications.It is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition is epilepsy and relatively mild, treatment may not be required at the moment. However, if it is severe, hospitalization for treatment is more appropriate to avoid serious brain damage.
