What should I do if my child has a fever, convulsions and rolls his eyes?

Convulsions are a high-risk phenomenon. When a child has a high fever, it is easy to cause febrile convulsions, and then symptoms such as convulsions and even rolling of eyes will occur. So what should we do if children have fever, convulsions and rolling of eyes? In an emergency, first aid measures are naturally needed to avoid threatening the children's health, and to successfully overcome the danger and get through the difficulties.

Children's nervous systems are not fully developed. For example, the inhibitory function of the cerebral cortex is poor and the myelin sheath is not fully formed. Once they are stimulated by external factors (such as high fever), the excitement can easily spread and cause convulsions. Children who often have febrile convulsions should take antipyretics, sedatives or place a cold towel on their head once a high fever occurs. They can also use alcohol baths to achieve timely cooling and prevent convulsions.

When convulsions occur, emergency treatment is required, such as lowering the body temperature, placing cold towels on the baby's forehead, palms, and thighs, and changing them frequently; keep the towel temperature not too high, or fill a hot water bottle with cold or ice water, wrap it with a towel and place it on the baby's pillow, neck, or thighs. If conditions permit, measure body temperature in time, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of the disease.

If the baby is lying on his side or his head is tilted to one side, immediately help the baby to lie on his side, with his head slightly tilted back and his chin slightly protruding forward, without a pillow; or remove the pillow and let the baby lie flat with his head tilted to one side. In this way, the root of the tongue will not block the airway and vomiting will not cause suffocation. Never give your baby medicine when he or she is having a seizure, otherwise there is a risk of aspiration pneumonia.

Keep the airway open, unbutton the collar, wrap a tongue depressor or chopsticks with soft cloth or handkerchief and place it between the upper and lower molars to prevent biting the tongue. At the same time, use a handkerchief or gauze to promptly clear the secretions from the baby's mouth and nose to keep the respiratory tract open. To control convulsions, pinch and press the baby's Ren Zhong, Hegu, Neiguan and other acupoints with your fingers for two or three minutes, and keep the surrounding environment quiet, move the child as little as possible, and reduce unnecessary stimulation.

I believe everyone is clear about what to do if children have fever, convulsions and rolling eyes. Children's health needs to be cared for with care. Only by taking good care of their daily lives can we truly protect them from harm. Of course, febrile convulsions must be treated promptly and correctly after they occur, and prevention must be taken in life to avoid the recurrence of the disease.
