What should I do if my baby has a fever, convulsions and foams at the mouth?

We know a lot about baby's fever. If the baby has a fever, we should reduce the temperature first. All parents know this, but what if we encounter some conditions other than fever? It’s like the baby has a fever, a high fever, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth. What’s going on? We rarely encounter this, but what should we do if we do? Let’s see what to do if your baby has a fever, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth?

Children's fever and convulsions are due to the immaturity of their nervous system. High fever causes over-excitement of the central nervous system, leading to strong discharges in the thalamus and affecting the limbic system and cerebral hemispheres. If cramps occur repeatedly, each attack can cause damage to the brain.

When your baby has a seizure, lay him or her flat on his or her back, making sure he or she is not touching 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.

At the same time, you should also provide your child with physical cooling treatment in time, let your child take a bath, the temperature of the bath can be appropriately high, so that the child's fever will be reduced better. At the same time, you should also give your child more boiled water, but it must be hot boiled water, not cold boiled water.

If the convulsion lasts more than 4 minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately; if it is less than 4 minutes, you can wait until the child feels better and rests for a while before going to the hospital. The above are emergency measures for when the baby has a fever and convulsions. When the baby has a fever and convulsions, if parents can take necessary measures in time, they can avoid or reduce the complications caused by high temperature convulsions.

After reading the above content, we know what to do if our baby has a fever, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth. With a solution to the problem, we will not be afraid. Of course, we still don’t want such a thing to happen to our children, but if we encounter it, we also have ways to deal with it, so that parents can feel more at ease.
