What to do if a 2-year-old child has a fever and convulsions

The status of children in every family can be said to be of paramount importance. Since the implementation of the family planning policy, the number of children in each family has been decreasing. In the families of our public officials, there is only one child. Therefore, children become the core of a family. Whenever they have a cold, fever or convulsions, parents will be worried. What would you do if a 2-year-old child has a fever and convulsions? Let me tell you about it now.

First of all, if there is air conditioning at home, maintain the room temperature at around 26 degrees. 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.

If your baby has a fever and convulsions, lay him or her flat on his or her back and make sure he or she does not come into contact with 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.

If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat and can wear fewer clothes. If a febrile convulsion lasts more than four minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately; if it is less than four minutes, you can wait until the child feels better and rests for a while before going to the hospital.

The mother should undress the baby and rub the baby's 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, which will 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.

Young parents who have read what I said above should know what to do if a 2-year-old child has a fever and convulsions. As the saying goes, misfortunes are unpredictable and blessings are unavoidable. Every child will catch a cold, have a fever, convulsions, and runny nose during the process of growing up. As long as we as parents take good care of them, they will recover and grow up healthily.
