Patient's question:
Female, 3 years old, my baby is still normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know what the emergency first aid method is for a child having a fever and convulsions?Doctor's answer:
When a child has a fever and starts twitching, the first thing to do is to have them lie flat on their bed. Position the child in a semi-recumbent position to ensure smooth breathing. Currently, you can use physical cooling at home by wiping their body with lukewarm water. Follow the doctor's advice to give the child oral fever-reducing medication. If the child's twitching lasts for less than four minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately for follow-up treatment.There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach must also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to go to a professional hospital as soon as possible for detailed testing to diagnose and treat the condition accordingly.
