Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to know what causes fever and twitching in children? My child is 3 years old. Recently, I don't know what the reason is, it might be because he caught a cold. The child has a fever with a high temperature, and the worst part is that he had a twitch. I was really scared, and I'm very worried about my child.Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is a high fever seizure, which is due to the baby's brain nerves not yet fully developed. Any high fever can trigger a seizure. Generally, high fever seizures no longer occur after the child turns 5. High fever seizures in children are often hereditary. You can ask your parents and your partner's parents if they had a history of high fever seizures when they were young. If one of you has this medical history, it means you have inherited it. It's okay, the child will naturally improve as they grow older.
