Patient's question:
Baby is 120 days old, still in the postpartum period. We swim him at home. It was winter then, and the water temperature was set too high, around 40 degrees Celsius. The swimming time varied between 10 to 15 minutes each time. Could this cause heatstroke?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of convulsions in children, which can be classified as infectious and non-infectious diseases, or as intracranial and extracranial diseases. Different clinical manifestations should be considered for different diseases. Children may have convulsions due to high fever. It is usually caused by viral and bacterial infections. For example: viral influenza, etc. These infectious diseases cause high fever, which can easily lead to dysfunction of the cerebral cortex in children, abnormal discharges, and convulsions. This is related to the cerebral cortex dysfunction in children. This sudden high fever is also caused by infections and is the most common viral infection.
