How to deal with a baby having a fever and convulsions

We all know that convulsions are a disease, but sometimes babies will have convulsions when they have a fever. However, we rarely encounter these problems, and we don’t know how to deal with such problems. Many times when we encounter things, we panic and become stupid, and we don’t know what to do. We also know that we can’t panic, but we are also worried about our children’s health. So what should we do if our baby has a fever and convulsions? Let’s take a look together!

Adjust your baby's position. When your baby has a seizure, have him lie flat on the bed and make sure he doesn't touch 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.

Ventilate frequently. If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. You can place your child in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower his body temperature. This will make your child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

Take off clothes. If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat and can wear fewer clothes.

Apply warm water, undress the baby, and rub the whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body heat. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

Drink plenty of water to help you sweat and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

We now know what to do when a baby has a fever and convulsions. In fact, a baby's fever is also a very important issue. If you find that your baby has a fever at home, you must reduce the fever first. You cannot ignore it, because a child's fever is different from that of an adult. Do not use adult medicines. If the fever really cannot be reduced, go to the hospital for fever reduction, which can improve the condition of the fever.
