What are the after-effects of fever and convulsions in children?

Patient's question:

My child is just a few months old. My child has had a cold these past couple of days, and as a result, he had a high fever this morning. Moreover, the child just had a seizure a moment ago. So, I wanted to ask you what to do about fever and seizure symptoms. I also want to know what the after-effects of fever seizures in children are.

Doctor's answer:

Post-stroke sequelae of fever-induced convulsions in children may potentially lead to brain damage. In addition to possibly causing secondary epilepsy, it is recommended that if the child experiences another high fever seizure, immediate cooling measures should be taken to resolve it, and the child should be taken to the hospital for medical attention. The doctor will provide symptomatic treatment.
Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain balanced nutrition, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
