What are the sequelae of baby's fever and convulsions?

We don’t know much about the sequelae of our baby’s illness. In fact, many diseases will have sequelae, but we are not always proactive in learning about them. However, we should still learn more about them. Not all diseases have sequelae. We should have a good understanding of the most common diseases, such as when a child has a fever or convulsions. So what are the sequelae of a baby’s fever or convulsions? Let’s learn more about it!

Fever convulsions can occur in children of all ages (except the neonatal period), but are more common between 6 months and 4 years old. The higher the child's body temperature, the more likely he or she is to have fever convulsions. Generally, the convulsion only occurs once and rarely more than twice. As long as the convulsion does not last long and is handled properly, it will not have much impact on the child's health.

Some complex febrile seizures may develop into epilepsy and may require long-term treatment. If febrile convulsions occur repeatedly or last too long, they may cause damage to the brain and leave sequelae.

However, parents do not need to be overly nervous because the chance of febrile convulsions turning into epilepsy is low. Studies have found that only 2%-10% of children with febrile convulsions will develop epilepsy. With careful care from parents and regular treatment from doctors, most babies will not suffer from sequelae after febrile convulsions.

Improve nutrition and do more outdoor activities. Colds are the most common cause of fever in babies, so you need to improve nutrition and engage in regular outdoor activities to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your resistance. In addition, you should avoid catching colds and avoid crowded areas.

When the body temperature reaches 38℃, you should actively reduce the fever. The methods of reducing fever include physical cooling and drug cooling. Parents should not wait until the temperature reaches 39℃ or the child has already had a convulsion before thinking of reducing the fever.

Through the above content, we know the sequelae of baby's fever and convulsions. Every child is a beautiful individual. If a child is sick, we are particularly worried, fearing that it will cause a lot of harm to the child. We should also take good care of the child, because the child's body is relatively weak and does not have much resistance, so it depends on parents to take more care of them.
