Patient's question:
My child was fine during the day, but around 5 PM, they suddenly had a fever seizure again without any warning. The duration was about 7 minutes. Before, my child had similar episodes. I want to know how to treat frequent seizures in children. What should I do if my child keeps having seizures?Doctor's answer:
The child has a fever, so it is important to give them fever-reducing medication immediately. Taking some calcium supplements appropriately can also help. Seizures are common acute diseases in children. During a seizure recurrence, the child may have their eyes rolled back, stare blankly, or look sideways, with limbs stiff. Each episode can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, and sometimes they may recur repeatedly. In case of a seizure, immediately lay the child flat and loosen their clothing, turning their head to one side to prevent breathing difficulties. Additionally, place a gauze-wrapped tongue depressor between the upper and lower teeth to prevent tongue biting. Then, take them to the hospital for treatment.
