What is the cause of the fever and convulsions in children?

The weather and temperature are changeable now. Many people easily catch colds and fevers because they find it difficult to adapt to weather changes, especially children with weaker resistance. Fever in children can be said to be a relatively common disease. Some children also have convulsions when they have a fever. It is necessary for parents to understand this reason. So what is the reason for convulsions in children with fever?

Children's fever and convulsions have a great impact on their health. Children who often catch colds and fevers in their daily lives are prone to high temperature convulsions. At this time, parents must understand how to take physical cooling measures for their children in time to avoid causing convulsions in their children and causing serious hypoxic damage to the brain.

When children experience convulsions after having a fever, it is medically called "febrile convulsion". This is mainly due to the incomplete development of the nervous system of infants and young children, such as poor inhibitory function of the cerebral cortex and incomplete formation of nerve myelin sheaths. Once exposed to external stimuli (such as high fever), excitement can easily spread and cause convulsions.

Generally speaking, infants and young children aged 6 months to 4 years, especially those who are prone to high fever. When a child's body temperature rises sharply, the higher the temperature, the more likely the attack is. When a high temperature convulsion occurs, symptoms such as loss of consciousness, eyes rolling up, clenched teeth, and twitching of the limbs will appear. Luo Youtong said that babies who often catch colds and fevers are most likely to suffer from febrile convulsions. Most cramps occur when the baby has a high fever, such as a body temperature of 39℃-40℃, and last for a relatively short time, about 2-3 minutes, and generally do not exceed 10 minutes. After the convulsion stopped, the child woke up.

Many parents believe that high fever convulsions will burn the baby's brain. Once convulsions occur, they panic and pinch the baby's Ren Zhong, Yongquan and other acupuncture points hard, often injuring the baby's tender skin. In fact, most febrile convulsions will not endanger the life of the child, nor will they damage the brain and leave sequelae, so parents do not need to panic too much. However, when a convulsion occurs, the baby is unconscious. If the vomit in the baby's mouth is inhaled into the trachea, it will cause the risk of suffocation. Therefore, parents need to calmly and promptly deal with vomit in their children's mouths.

The above introduction lets us know that children's fever and convulsions are very serious phenomena. Therefore, in our daily life, once we find that children have fever and convulsions, timely and regular diagnosis and treatment will be helpful in curing children's fever and convulsions.

Therefore, when we find that children have fever and convulsions in life, we must go to a regular hospital for treatment. We must also pay attention to their daily diet, which will also be helpful for children's fever and convulsions.
