What are the sequelae of a 5-year-old child having a fever and convulsions?

We all know that children will have resistance as they grow older, and a five-year-old child has already participated in a lot of exercise. We usually take our children out for exercise, and let them have more contact with nature, but children still get sick. Many people say that children will only have convulsions when they have a fever, but what about older children? What happens if this happens? Let’s take a look at the sequelae of a 5-year-old child having a fever and convulsions.

When a convulsion occurs, the baby is unconscious. If the vomit in the baby's mouth is inhaled into the trachea, it will cause the risk of suffocation. Therefore, parents need to calmly and promptly deal with vomit in their children's mouths.

Many parents believe that high fever convulsions will burn the baby's brain. Once convulsions occur, they panic and pinch the baby's Ren Zhong, Yongquan and other acupuncture points hard, often injuring the baby's tender skin. In fact, a high fever convulsion will not have a big impact on the child, nor will it damage the brain and leave sequelae, so parents do not need to panic too much. However, if the seizures occur repeatedly and last for a long time, it will cause damage to the brain.

If your child has had a febrile seizure before, there is a high chance that he or she will have another one. If you observe that your child shows signs of fever again at this time, you should immediately and decisively give him antipyretics, and continue to give him medicine every 4 to 6 hours to suppress the high fever. However, this does not usually cause brain damage and is not associated with epilepsy.

Febrile seizures are very common in children, with a prevalence of 5%-10%. It is best for parents to master some basic knowledge in dealing with high temperature convulsions. Luo Youtong believes that if parents can take necessary measures in time, they can avoid or reduce the complications caused by high temperature convulsions.

Now we know the sequelae of fever and convulsions in a 5-year-old child. Don’t think it doesn’t matter about your child’s exercise. Children also need to exercise to make their bodies strong. This will improve their resistance and prevent them from getting sick so often. Of course, if the illness is not handled well, don’t waste time and send them to the hospital for treatment immediately.
