What should I do if my child has a high fever seizure?

Patient's question:

Or if you have a history of high fever seizures, where your right hand and leg twitch for about 1 minute during sleep and recover naturally, what should you do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. This suggests the presence of high fever seizures accompanied by calcium deficiency, and it cannot be definitively determined as pediatric epilepsy. It is recommended that you have your child undergo a brain CT and MRI scan to rule out epilepsy. After excluding epilepsy, calcium supplements should be administered. If epilepsy is confirmed, antiepileptic treatment should be initiated. Encourage your child to get more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption by the bones, and also engage in moderate physical activity. Wishing your baby good health.
