Patient's question:
Female, 4 years old, my child has always had poor physical health. She often gets fevers and colds. Now, I want to know how to handle high fever and convulsions in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a follow-up visit in a timely manner. If your child's fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication to reduce the fever is necessary. Your child's condition has already developed into high fever convulsions, which must be treated. It is suggested that you place ice packs on your child's forehead, armpits, and groin in the near future. Be careful to prevent burns, and use warm water or alcohol to clean the area. Pay attention to keeping your child warm, change their clothes promptly, open windows frequently for ventilation, and provide them with plenty of fluids.
