Patient's question:
I used to take my child to the hospital for injections, and there was a child who had a high fever seizure, which scared the child's mother. Fortunately, the doctors and nurses were present at the time, so there were no unexpected incidents. My child often has fever, and I want to know what to do if a child has a high fever seizure?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of high fever convulsions in children are generally loss of consciousness and generalized convulsions. It is essential to lower the fever promptly to avoid prolonged high body temperature from causing other diseases. You can loosen the child's clothes, use wet towels to cool their limbs, and apply fever-reducing patches to their forehead. High fever convulsions are usually caused by inflammatory infections. After the fever is reduced, antiviral treatment should be administered based on the inflammation. During the treatment period, the child should be given some light food.
