The brain development is incomplete. Is it due to genetic reasons? What should I do? How should I handle daily life and...Doctor's answer:
If your child has a third episode of feverless convulsions, you should consider whether there is a possibility of epilepsy or underdeveloped brain development. If it is a high-temperature convulsion, it cannot be determined yet, because the brains of infants and young children are still underdeveloped and their responses to stimuli are easily generalized, leading to convulsions during high fever. It is recommended that you go to a local hospital for an electroencephalogram (which can confirm epilepsy) and a brain CT scan (which can detect any abnormalities in brain structure) to further clarify the cause.
