Patient's question:
Is it very serious if a child has a fever, twitches, and foams at the mouth? There's no time to take the child to the hospital, so I gave the child some fever-reducing medicine. After giving it to the child, three days later when I checked on the child, it was like this. Has the condition worsened?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you mentioned, it seems that the child is experiencing recurrent high fever seizures. This condition is common in children under the age of six, primarily because it involves convulsions upon recurrence. In such cases, it is usually necessary to use sedative medications promptly to quickly control the body temperature and keep it around 38 degrees Celsius. Repeated convulsions may potentially damage the child's nervous system. For patients with severe foaming at the mouth, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medications blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can help you. Thank you.
