Patient's question:
My son has been having seizures whenever he has a fever since he was in first grade. The doctor said it was febrile seizures, but now that he's 11, he had another seizure. After being hospitalized and examined, no epilepsy was found. I'm not sure if the patient is male, 11 years old, and has been having seizures since he was young whenever he had a fever. The doctor said it would improve after the age of six or seven, but this year, he had a fever and had another seizure again.Doctor's answer:
Child convulsions are caused by fever, with symptoms being a loss of control in the central nervous system due to fever. Children often stare, have, or have unfocused eyes. In severe cases, they may experience convulsions, frothing at the mouth, or rolling their eyes. Upper respiratory infections often trigger child convulsions. My daughter had a fever caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease about half a month ago, which then led to child convulsions. In your case, it should not be child convulsions. Convulsions are always accompanied by a rise in temperature, typically lasting around 15 minutes or 20 minutes before returning to normal.
