Patient's question:
My daughter doesn't know what's going on, she often has tonsillitis. Moreover, when she has inflammation, she keeps having fever. Yesterday, she ate some spicy food, and it was even worse that she had fever by the evening. Additionally, her hands and feet kept twitching, which scared me to death, so I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was an infectious form of epilepsy.How should a child with fever, tonsillitis, and epilepsy be treated?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is first not yet clear if the recurrence of high fever convulsions would cause the patient to have muscle twitching. If muscle twitching also occurs when the patient does not have a fever, then it may be considered a possibility of epilepsy. Therefore, for the current clinical symptoms of the patient, timely use of antipyretic drugs and heat-clearing, detoxifying, and anti-inflammatory medications should be considered.
