What is the situation when a child has a high fever and convulsions?

Patient's question:

A 2-year-old child is experiencing high fever and convulsions. Which department should I go to for an EEG?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, a high fever seizure can look a bit frightening.
Guidance: When a child has a seizure, parents should not panic and should remain calm. Immediately lay the child flat on the bed, quickly undo the child's collar and pants, and turn their head to one side to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the airway, which could cause suffocation. During the seizure, parents should never shake the child violently and should keep them quiet, avoiding all unnecessary stimuli. When the child's limbs are in spastic convulsions, do not pull forcefully to avoid fractures.
