What should I do if my child has a fever and is having convulsions?

Children usually don't pay attention to their bodies and don't know how to keep warm. They tend to kick off the quilt when they sleep at night, so they often catch cold. In addition, children's physical constitution is generally poor, so if they catch a cold or have a fever, it will be more serious. Parents will be very worried. If a child has a fever and convulsions, what should they do?

Adjust your baby's position. When your baby has a seizure, have him lie flat on the bed and make sure he doesn't touch any sharp, hard objects. Later, lay your child on his side to allow him to breathe more easily and prevent saliva or vomit from blocking his trachea. Do not try to pry your child's mouth open; a child who is having a seizure due to a fever or other cause is not in danger of biting his tongue.

Ventilate frequently. If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. You can place your child in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower his body temperature. This will make your child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

Take off clothes. If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat and can wear fewer clothes.

Apply warm water, undress the baby, and rub the whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body heat. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

Drink plenty of water to help you sweat and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

Antipyretic medicine: when the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, you can use antipyretic medicine appropriately.

When a child has a fever, physical cooling should be done in time to control the body temperature. Otherwise, if the temperature is too high, it is likely to cause meningitis in the child. Parents should also pay attention to measuring the child's body temperature frequently. If the temperature rises very quickly, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the disease.
