Patient's question:
What causes a child to have a fever and convulsions? My baby had a fever again last night. At that time, he broke out in a lot of cold sweat, and shortly after, his legs started twitching. He also drooled a lot. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
When a child has a fever and experiences convulsions again, it could be due to high fever, leading to febrile seizures. It is important to actively reduce the fever. You can take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up visit. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral fever-reducing medication or intramuscular fever-reducing injections can be administered. Before the temperature rises further, physical cooling methods can be used to quickly reduce the fever, and the child should be encouraged to drink more warm water. The above information can serve as a reference.
