How to prevent and treat children's fever and convulsions?

Children are still very easy to get sick, especially when their families do not take good care of them. They are prone to fever and various physical discomforts. So how to prevent and treat fever and convulsions in children? You should know that children's physical condition is relatively poor and they do not have such good resistance as adults. Once the high fever persists, it is easy to have a high fever convulsion. At this time, you still need to seize the time to treat it correctly.

1. Improve immunity: strengthen nutrition and engage in regular outdoor activities to strengthen physical fitness and improve resistance. If necessary, use some drugs to enhance immunity under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Prevent colds: When the weather changes, add or remove clothes in time to avoid catching cold; try not to go to public places or places with a large number of mobile populations, such as supermarkets, stations, cinemas, etc., to avoid catching a cold; if adults in the family have a cold, they need to wear masks and avoid contact with children as much as possible; open windows for ventilation at irregular intervals every day to keep the air circulating in the home.

3. Actively reduce fever: When children who have had febrile convulsions catch a cold, parents should closely observe their body temperature changes. Once the temperature reaches above 38°C, they should actively reduce the fever. There are two ways to reduce fever: one is physical cooling; the other is drug cooling. Physical fever reduction includes: 1) Warm water bath: The water temperature should be slightly higher than body temperature, mainly for washing the palms, soles, armpits, popliteal fossa, groin, etc. of the child, but the time should be short to prevent cold again and aggravate the condition. 2) Ice pillow: Use an ice bag to pillow the child’s head, and at the same time, apply a cold water wet towel to a large area of ​​the forehead to lower the temperature of the head and protect the brain.

4. Correct use of anticonvulsant drugs: 1) Intermittent use of anticonvulsant drugs: that is, no medication is used at ordinary times, only at the beginning of each febrile illness, when the body temperature rises to 37.5℃, immediately inject diazepam solution into the rectum or give oral diazepam, or diazepam suppositories can also be used; 2) Long-term use of anticonvulsant drugs: For children who have more than 5 febrile convulsions per year and each febrile convulsion lasts more than 30 minutes, anticonvulsant drugs can be taken for a long time, and attention should be paid to adverse drug reactions.

Through the above introduction, everyone has a clear idea of ​​how to treat children's fever and convulsions. Families are still very worried about their children's health, but as long as they can start with treatment and prevention, control the disease, and regulate the child's body, there will be no chance of recurrence of the disease, but they must also prevent it from happening.
