Patient's question:
What should I do if my child has a fever and experiences convulsions? Will it turn into epilepsy in the future? What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
Simple febrile seizures do not affect a child's intelligence or future, and they generally do not occur after the age of 4. (Simple febrile seizures are accidental, short in duration, high fever, and the child's mental state recovers quickly after the attack.) Complex febrile seizures refer to febrile seizures that occur multiple times, with a temperature not very high (above 38 degrees Celsius) and lasting more than 10 minutes. This is not good, and it may be accompanied by epilepsy as the child grows up. Children with this medical history have a certain genetic predisposition.
