Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Started coughing last night, suddenly fainted at noon today, face turned blue. Woke up after pressing the nose and mouth. Later checked with a temperature of 38.5°C, received dexamethasone 2mg and bupleurum 2ml intramuscularly, temperature returned to normal, tongue injured. What should I do next time on-site?Duration of this episode: 2 minutes
Current general condition: Coughing with excessive phlegm
Medical history: None
Doctor's answer:
Do not panic to prevent injuries caused by falling due to convulsions. If the seizure duration is very short, often you haven't had time to do anything before it stops. For longer or repeated seizures, seek medical attention immediately for medication to stop the seizure, oxygen therapy, etc. After the seizure stops, if vomiting occurs, promptly clear respiratory secretions to maintain airway patency.Preventing convulsions: Pay attention to avoiding upper respiratory infections as much as possible. Medication can be used to prevent complex febrile seizures. Preventing recurrence of complex febrile seizures is particularly important because each seizure episode may cause brain cell hypoxia, affecting the child's long-term prognosis.
