Patient's question:
Baby is 120 days old. In the postpartum period, we swim him at home. It was winter then. The water temperature was set too high, around 40 degrees Celsius. The swimming time varied from 10 to 15 minutes each time. Could this cause heatstroke?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of convulsions in children. They can be divided into infectious and non-infectious diseases. They can also be classified as intracranial and extracranial diseases. Different clinical manifestations should be considered for different diseases. Children may have convulsions due to high fever. It is usually caused by viral and bacterial infections. For example: viral influenza, etc. These infectious diseases cause high fever. They are highly likely to lead to dysfunction of the cerebral cortex in children, abnormal discharges, and convulsions.
