Patient's question:
The child started to have a runny nose and sneezes. Since yesterday, they have had a fever, but the temperature wasn't high, around 38.5 degrees. However, in the afternoon today, the child suddenly had a fever over 40 degrees and collapsed, appearing unconscious. I would like to ask what are the main emergency measures for infant high fever seizures?Doctor's answer:
First, move the child to a quiet and well-ventilated place. Place the baby's body flat and turn them into a side position to prevent food from being vomited out, which could cause breathing difficulties. Remove all hard objects around the baby to avoid injuring them! Unbutton the child's coat to ensure smooth breathing. If the baby is grinding their teeth, place something between their teeth to prevent them from biting their tongue. After addressing all these issues, immediately call an ambulance!
