Patient's question:
A few days ago, the baby had a very high fever. Every night, the temperature reached around 40 degrees Celsius. I heard that children with high fever are prone to seizures or convulsions. It may also lead to shock. So I was very anxious. What should I do if the child has high fever?Doctor's answer:
High fever in children can easily cause convulsions. In this case, it is recommended that you take immediate measures to cool down. You can cool the body by wiping it with warm water or alcohol. If it is caused by inflammation, antibiotics should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, avoid catching a cold to prevent symptoms from worsening. The diet must be light. After the disease is under control, check the cause of the high fever and determine the cause of the symptomatic treatment. Whether it is muscle relaxants or sedatives, you need to follow the doctor's advice.
