What should I do if my child has a seizure?

Patient's question:

Girl, 3 and a half years old, my child has had high fever that won't go down these past few days, with ups and downs. Today, suddenly, there were twitching symptoms in her body. I want to know what to do if my child has seizures?

Doctor's answer:

First, you need to be clear that there are several reasons that can cause seizures in children. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the cause of the disease for targeted treatment. However, during a seizure, it is important to maintain airway patency as much as possible to prevent the risk of recurrent breathing difficulties due to the tongue rolling backward. You can use a chopstick or other items to quickly open the mouth to avoid biting the tongue, and seek medical attention promptly. There are many methods for treating the disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, patients need to go to a professional hospital as soon as possible for detailed testing to prescribe the correct treatment.
