Patient's question:
Our child had a cold and fever, and at one and a half years old, they had a seizure. Now that they are five years old, they have had three seizures.Doctor's answer:
The twitching caused by a child's cold and fever, with a history of high fever seizures, generally does not leave behind any neurological sequelae. It is recommended that once the child has a fever, temperature monitoring should be closely observed. If the temperature drops below 38°C, fever-reducing medication should be administered immediately to prevent the fever from persisting and triggering another seizure. Additionally, if the child experiences twitching without a fever, it cannot be ruled out as pediatric epilepsy, and an electroencephalogram (EEG) should be conducted to rule out the possibility.
