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-reducing medication. The high fever led to cramps, occurring three times a day, and they all happened at the hospital. The third time, I had cramps after the fever persisted into the next day, also at the hospital. A 24-hour dynamic EEG showed epileptic waves.Doctor's answer:
Hello, recurrent high fever with convulsions, considered to be epilepsy, caused by abnormal discharge of brain cells. Antipyretic drugs should be used in the early stage of fever to treat it. If it cannot be controlled, sodium valproate, carbamazepine, and other drugs need to be used to control epilepsy attacks.
