What should be done if a child has a fever and convulsions?

Patient's question:

Male, 1 year old, my child has recently had a cold and fever, and has been coughing and sneezing. The condition has been fluctuating, please ask how to handle convulsions when the child has a fever?

Doctor's answer:

When a child has a fever and starts twitching, the parent should first loosen the child's collar and turn the child's head to one side, ensuring the child's breathing remains unobstructed. At the same time, place a thick towel or piece of clothing in the child's mouth to prevent the teeth from biting the tongue. The parent can use an ice pack or cold towel to apply cold compresses to the child's forehead, which can quickly reduce body temperature and alleviate symptoms.
There are many treatment methods for this illness, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach must be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, the patient should seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for a detailed examination to receive targeted treatment.
