Patient's question:
My baby is three years old, and he has had febrile seizures for the third time. I would like to ask if there is a way to completely cure it? He had two episodes when he was one year old, and now it has been two years. Today, he suddenly had another episode. When we go to the hospital, they just give him a sedative shot and then start an IV drip. It's really hard on the child's body. He's exhausted all day and keeps having repeated fever... I gave birth to my baby naturally, and he had a blood lump on his head when he was born. Could this be related? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:1. The baby has experienced three episodes of high fever seizures, and there is a possibility that it may develop into epilepsy. Early treatment is required. After one week of the episode, an electroencephalogram (EEG) should be conducted. If it is normal, the likelihood of developing epilepsy would be relatively low.
2. The baby lacks alertness, and it is important to rule out the possibility of concurrent encephalitis.
Suggestions:
1. The hematoma the baby had at birth could be due to birth trauma. If it caused cerebral hypoxia at the time, it may also affect the baby's brain development, making seizures more likely during high fever.
2. Timely fever reduction treatment for the baby can help prevent seizure episodes.
