What is going on when a child has a fever and convulsions?

Generally speaking, when a child's fever is over 38 degrees, parents will be particularly worried, because this situation usually means that the high fever will not go away, so the child's fever needs to be reduced in time. No matter what method is used, the high fever must be reduced immediately, otherwise it is very likely that their child will have convulsions after the fever, which is closely related to the high fever. If this happens, you cannot use some physical methods to reduce the temperature at home.

Seizures may be associated with a high fever. Controlling seizures requires controlling high fever. It may be a cold or a viral infection. For a cold, you can take children's acetaminophen granules, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, Zailin or azithromycin granules. If you have a fever, you can also inject compound aminabata injection intramuscularly. Cough can be treated with compound licorice tablets, dioxetine hydrochloride tablets, etc.

(1) Most babies have fevers because of colds. If the baby has cold hands and feet, white tongue coating, pale complexion, and light urine, parents can use ginger and brown sugar water to dispel the cold. Add two or three one-inch long green onions to the water to help the baby sweat.

(2) If the baby has a fever, sore throat, yellow tongue coating, and yellow urine with a strong odor, it means that the child has a severe internal heat. At this time, the child should not drink ginger and sugar water, but should drink a lot of warm water. You can also add a small amount of salt to the water.

Some parents believe that giving their children antipyretics will suppress their immune function, but recent studies have shown that even after children take antipyretics, the body's defense system is still working and will not suppress the immune system.

Convulsions: Although fever itself is not dangerous (unless it is above 41°C), you still need to actively take various measures to reduce your child's body temperature to normal, relieve the discomfort caused by fever and avoid convulsions. If the child's body temperature rises too quickly, the child's immature nervous system will react to this change in the form of spasms. Some children will have signs before convulsions, such as arm tremors, lip twitching or blank eyes, but some children may not have any signs or reactions.

Therefore, when your child has a fever and convulsions, you must prevent them from biting their tongues, otherwise it will cause more serious consequences. You should go to the hospital in time to get an injection of antipyretic drugs, or take some antipyretic drugs, so as to prevent the cramps from becoming more serious. When appropriate, you can also give your child a full body massage.
