Febrile seizures in children

When children are young, because of their poor resistance, they are likely to get sick, and are particularly prone to high fever. When children have a severe high fever, they are more likely to have high temperature convulsions. This phenomenon is very dangerous for babies, and the probability of hallucinations in children is very high. Parents must be vigilant. So what are the treatment methods for children's high temperature convulsions?

Hyperthermia convulsions in young children are very common, and the prevalence rate is as high as about 5% to 10%. Once parents find that their children have hyperthermia convulsions, they must master some basic methods of treatment. Because young children's bodies are relatively weak, if they do not pay attention to daily care and are affected by hyperthermia convulsions, it will cause great harm to their health. Therefore, when a child has a hyperthermia convulsion, parents should pay attention to active treatment and correct handling. Today we will share together the treatment methods for hyperthermia convulsions in young children.

Steps/Methods:

1. When a young child has a fever convulsion, you must remain calm, avoid shaking the child, or saying something about the child's hands and feet, and don't yell at the child. When a young child has a fever convulsion, apply a cold towel to the head or place an ice pack on the head, loosen the collar, and use a wet towel to wipe the child's neck, armpits and other places to physically cool him down.

2 When a young child has a fever convulsion, you can wrap a clean gauze around chopsticks and place it between the child's upper and lower teeth to keep the airway open, prevent the tongue from being bitten, and prevent saliva or vomit from flowing back into the trachea to avoid suffocation or aspiration pneumonia. After the child's fever convulsion stops, you can give the child some warm water to prevent excessive sweating and resulting in exhaustion.

3 When a young child has a febrile convulsion and the cause is unknown, it is best not to blindly give the child antipyretics, because this may delay or aggravate the condition and have adverse effects on the child's body. The best way to reduce the temperature is to use physical cooling, or take the child to the hospital for treatment.

Parents should pay attention to correct handling of children's high temperature convulsions to avoid adverse effects on their children. They should pay attention to their children's diet and improve their resistance. In seasons when the weather changes, they should pay attention to keeping warm and preventing cold.
