What is the difference between fever convulsions and shivering?

Patient's question:

Female, 2 years old. My baby was normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know the difference between fever seizures and shivering.

Doctor's answer:

The difference between fever-induced twitching and shivering is: twitching is a brief tremor of the whole body's muscles caused by fever, while shivering is usually caused by cold, resulting in a tremor of the whole body. It is recommended to lower the temperature if a child has a fever to prevent further twitching. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to go to a professional hospital for detailed testing as soon as possible to prescribe the correct treatment.
