If the baby has a fever, will it cause cramps?

The physical condition of babies nowadays is not as good as that of children in the past, because children nowadays stay at home and seldom go out. They are like flowers in a greenhouse and can easily get sick. We should also take our children to get in touch with nature appropriately. Of course, parents are also afraid that their children will get sick, especially if they have a fever. But now I heard that some children will have cramps when they have a fever. Is this true? Let’s take a look at whether a baby’s fever can cause cramps?

Children may have convulsions when they have a fever. Pediatric febrile convulsions are more common in children under four years old because their nervous system is not fully developed. Once the fever exceeds 40°C, the eyes will roll up or squint, stare, the limbs will become rigid and twitch, and the facial muscles will twitch from time to time. Accompanied by confusion, incontinence, etc.

When children have convulsions due to high fever, the terrible symptoms often make parents very nervous. Even took the child to the hospital in the middle of the night. In fact, febrile convulsions can usually subside on their own within a few seconds or minutes. Therefore, when cramps occur, if the child is lying in bed, there is no need to worry. However, if the child is on the road, by the water, or in a place where it is easy to fall, the child should be picked up and moved to a safer place for treatment. Tilt the child's head to one side, loosen the child's buttons and belt, and wipe off the child's vomit at any time to prevent suffocation. At the same time, you can place a cool towel or ice pack on the child's forehead and use lukewarm water to wipe the child's whole body to cool down.

If you have pediatric antipyretic suppositories at home, you can take one out and insert it into the child's anus. Children will not bite their tongues on their own when they have a febrile convulsion, so there is no need to stuff anything into their mouths. For children who have woken up, they can be given sufficient amounts of sugar and salt water to replenish the water lost due to high fever and sweating. If after the above treatment, the child continues to have cramps for more than ten minutes, he or she should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. To avoid accidents or irreversible damage to the brain due to cramps lasting too long. When taking your child to the hospital, you must always pay attention to keeping the child's airway open to prevent choking on vomit. If you are not burned by a high fever, your intelligence will not be affected.

Now we understand whether a baby's fever will cause cramps. This is a very professional question. Sometimes many people think that a child's fever will not be a big deal and they don't take it seriously. This is wrong. We should pay close attention to children's fever. If a child is sick, don't delay. Delaying will only aggravate the child's condition and delay the child's treatment.
