What to do if your baby has a fever and convulsions

It is very common for babies to have fever, but we will also be nervous because the baby's body is not as easy to reduce fever as an adult's. Sometimes we always need to spend a lot of energy to reduce the baby's fever, but some children will have convulsions when they have a high fever. What's going on? What should you do if this happens to your child at home? Let’s find out what to do if your baby has a fever or high temperature convulsions?

1. In case of high fever convulsion, you should loosen the baby's clothes, place the baby in a ventilated place, immediately let the baby lie on his back, loosen the collar, and gently support the baby's body to avoid joint injuries or falls.

2. To prevent the baby's vomit from entering the airway, consciously turn the baby's head to one side and clean the secretions in the mouth and nose in time to prevent the baby from inhaling foreign objects and causing suffocation.

3. Babies often bite their tongues unconsciously during convulsions. Mothers can wrap a small wooden board (or the stick end of a baby spoon) with clean gauze and place it in the baby's mouth.

4. When a convulsion occurs, the mother should press the philtrum (the middle position under the nose) with her thumb to open the orifices and wake the baby up until the convulsion is relieved. However, the nails should not be too sharp or too forceful to avoid piercing the baby's skin and causing unnecessary damage.

Kind tips:

1. Do not shake your child vigorously, control limb twitching forcibly, or cover your child to sweat and reduce fever. These methods are incorrect.

2. If the convulsion cannot be quelled after taking the above measures, resulting in respiratory arrest, immediately perform artificial respiration and cardiac compression, then immediately notify 120 (or ambulance, choose one of the two) to send to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and do not delay. It is best for parents not to run around with their babies in their arms. If foreign objects are inhaled into the trachea, the degree of suffocation will be aggravated.

Now we know the problem of baby's fever and high temperature convulsions. This is a problem we will encounter in life. Maybe our children have not encountered it, but with the above knowledge, we can deal with this problem well. The health of the child is the most concerned of every parent. The child may not be outstanding, but parents still want their own health. Health is the most important thing.
