What is the treatment for febrile seizures in children?

Febrile convulsion is a common disease among children, especially in spring. The incidence of this disease is very high. It is usually caused by the failure to reduce the fever in time after the child has a high fever. When you feel that your child has a febrile convulsion, try to lay them flat on the bed, otherwise they may bite their tongue during the convulsion, otherwise it will cause more serious consequences. You should also take them to the hospital in time for more detailed treatment.

According to TCM theory, most convulsions are caused by excessive internal heat (referring to the fire of the triple burner). Children often have the following precursors: thirst, bad breath, mouth ulcers, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, irritability, anger, red face and eyes, loss of appetite, crying, dry stool or constipation with a foul odor, yellow and red urine, thick and greasy yellow tongue coating, etc., which are the precursors of excessive internal heat, or one aspect of internal heat is often manifested. If the baby catches a fever due to external factors, the body temperature will rise rapidly, which will cause the baby to get even more irritated and turn into phlegm-fire stagnation in the chest, resulting in convulsions.

Clinical analysis of traditional Chinese medicine on febrile convulsions in children: Children with febrile convulsions were found to have no abnormalities after CT, EEG and other examinations, and other causes were ruled out (such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, meningitis, poisoning, etc.), and were diagnosed with convulsions caused by simple fever.

Traditional Chinese Medicine prevention and treatment methods for high fever convulsions in children: the four prevention and treatment principles are oral Chinese medicine, acupoint massage therapy, dietary therapy assistance, and dietary taboos.

The four basic methods for the treatment of the cause of high fever convulsions are clearing away heat, resolving phlegm, calming the nerves, and extinguishing wind. To prevent and treat high fever convulsions in children, Chinese medicine can be taken orally, combined with acupoint massage, to dredge the meridians, promote lung function and resolve phlegm, relieve spasms and calm the nerves, and purge excessive heat. The acupoint massage technique is easy to operate, simple to understand, and can be performed by following the instructions. Even parents of sick children can do it, and it has a significant auxiliary therapeutic effect on convulsions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that for children who have multiple convulsions, children who are usually weak and sickly, and children who are not as intelligent as children of the same age after convulsions, in addition to taking medicine, diet therapy is also very important. The dietary medicine can be mixed with rice porridge and cooked and eaten. It can improve brain function, nourish the spleen and stomach, strengthen the physical fitness, and play an auxiliary role in relieving high fever convulsions in children. But avoid warm, hot, spicy and other foods.

Basically, the treatment for febrile convulsions is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, because this will cause much less damage to the child's brain, and if Chinese medicine is used, it will not produce serious toxic side effects. Acupoint massage can be used for treatment, or food can be used as an auxiliary treatment, so that the symptoms can be improved faster.
