Patient's question:
Female, 3 years old, my baby is usually normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know what happens when a fever causes convulsions?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely to be a high fever seizure, which is similar to an epileptic seizure but not epilepsy. The occurrence of this condition is related to two factors: the child's brain development and a reduced seizure threshold. There is no need for special treatment, but if the child catches a cold in the future, they should immediately take fever-reducing medication orally to prevent the recurrence of high fever seizures. There are many treatment methods for this disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for detailed testing to administer the appropriate treatment.
