How to treat a child with fever and convulsions? These are the methods!

Young children are very fragile. Once they have a fever, the high temperature will affect multiple functions of the body. The human body has a self-balancing function. Once a child has a severe fever, he or she will have convulsions. Parents will be very anxious at this time, but they must stay calm and take the following measures to relieve the symptoms.

First, adjust your posture

When your baby has a seizure, lay him or her flat on his or her back, making sure he or she is not touching any sharp, hard objects. Later, lay your child on his side to allow him to breathe more easily and prevent saliva or vomit from blocking his trachea. Do not try to pry your child's mouth open; a child who is having a seizure due to a fever or other cause is not in danger of biting his tongue.

Second, frequent ventilation

If there is air conditioning at home, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower the body temperature, so that the child will feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

Third, take off your clothes

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less clothes.

Fourth, wipe with warm water

Undress your baby and rub his whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body energy. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

Fifth, drink more water

To help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

6. Antipyretics

When the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, you can use antipyretic medicine appropriately.

Fever is mainly caused by diseases, such as respiratory tract infection, meningitis, urinary tract infection, etc. Therefore, the cause of the fever should be found out in time and the right medicine should be used to reduce the fever.
