Patient's question:
Boy, 3 years old, my child suddenly fell to the ground and had convulsions yesterday. This has never happened before, and it scared us all. I want to ask what the cause of convulsions due to high fever is in children?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can cause fever and convulsions in children, and one of the most likely causes is epilepsy. Epilepsy poses significant harm to children, so it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital immediately for a thorough examination. If it is determined to be epilepsy, treatment should be started immediately. Once epilepsy is suspected, it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible. The recurrence of epilepsy can affect brain growth and development, as well as cause harm to the body. The earlier the treatment begins, the more it can mitigate the impact of epilepsy and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
