Patient's question:
At home, the child recently doesn't know what illness they have. They have been having high fever that won't go down. Because the family has been very busy, they haven't gone to the hospital. This morning, the child started to be very scared and kept crying. I want to ask, what is the emergency treatment procedure for infant high fever convulsions, and how can it be effective?Doctor's answer:
Childhood high fever convulsions often occur after upper respiratory tract infections. It is a pediatric emergency. It is prone to complications such as brain edema. If a child has a convulsion at home, pay attention to lying them on their side to avoid aspiration of vomit and suffocation. A hot towel can be used to wipe the body for physical cooling. Treatment methods include symptomatic treatment such as fever reduction, anticonvulsant drugs, and oxygen inhalation, and close observation for recurrence of convulsions.
