Does a child's fever and convulsions affect his intelligence?

If we have some bad conditions in our body, we must go to the hospital for a physical examination, so that we can have a relevant understanding of our physical health. Children's diseases also need to be taken seriously. Among them, children's fever and convulsions are a common disease, which makes many parents more worried. So, does a child's fever and convulsions affect intelligence?

What to do if your child has a fever and convulsions:

1. Parents should remain calm, do not panic, and do not shout loudly or shake or slap their children hard. If the child's head tilts back and his limbs are straight and stiff, do not bend his limbs forcefully and try to minimize stimulation to the child.

2. Let the child lie flat and tilt his head to one side to prevent saliva and vomit from entering the trachea and causing suffocation or aspiration pneumonia. At the same time, unbutton the child's collar to prevent the neck from being too tight and affecting the smoothness of the airway.

3. To prevent children from biting their tongues, you can twist a handkerchief into a twist and stuff it between the child's front teeth.

4. After the child's convulsion stops, parents should immediately send the child to the nearest hospital for examination of the cause and further treatment.

Pediatric febrile convulsions are common in children aged 6 months to 3 years. The clinical manifestations are sudden onset of systemic convulsions within the first 24 hours of fever, mostly within 12 hours, accompanied by unconsciousness, rhythmic twitching or rigidity of the limbs, staring or upward-rolling eyes, foaming at the mouth, and some also have urinary and fecal incontinence. It usually lasts for a few seconds to 10 minutes and then resolves spontaneously. It is rare for it to last more than 10 minutes and usually only occurs once. After the extraction, spirit and consciousness will be restored.

The above is an introduction on whether fever and convulsions in children will affect their intelligence. In fact, when a child has a fever, it is necessary to reduce his fever in time. If the fever continues to be high, it will easily affect the child's intellectual development. At the same time, you should pay attention to a light diet and not feed the child too complicated food.
