We may often think that the child who suddenly has cramps at night may have caught a cold. And this is indeed a possibility. However, there are other problems that can cause a child to have sudden seizures. Therefore, it is better for you to consult clearly. Knowing what is going on will also be very helpful when you take care of your children. So, what should you do if your child suddenly has cramps? Let me introduce them to you one by one!

Methods for children to have sudden cramps:

The first thing to do when a child has convulsions is to find out the cause. If it is a high fever convulsion, the temperature should be reduced and symptomatic treatment should be given. If there are other underlying diseases, the primary disease should be actively treated on the basis of symptomatic treatment. If a child has a convulsion, let the child lie on his side, unbutton his collar, wrap a tongue depressor with a handkerchief, or put chopsticks between the upper and lower teeth to prevent him from biting his tongue; keep the child quiet and avoid all unnecessary stimulation. If a child with convulsions has a high fever, you can give him a bath with cool water, well water or 30% to 50% alcohol, or give him an enema with cold saline, and use acetaminophen as nasal drops or intramuscular injections to reduce fever. If the convulsions do not stop, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

The body temperature center of infants and young children is not yet fully developed. If they encounter respiratory infections, allergies, vaccination reactions, etc., their body temperature will rise, but they should not use medications indiscriminately. So when the baby has a fever or a high fever that won't go away, what measures should the mother take to help the baby lower his body temperature? 1. 35% alcohol bath alcohol can dilate blood vessels and take away a lot of heat when evaporating. It can help cool down infants and young children when they have a fever. Prepare 100 ml of 75% alcohol, add an equal amount of warm water, and keep the temperature at around 27-37 degrees Celsius. Do not let it be too cold, otherwise it will cause muscle contraction, causing the temperature to rise again. When doing alcohol bath, use a small towel to start wiping the baby's neck, then wipe from top to bottom in a patting manner. The armpits, groin, and areas with large arteries and blood vessels on the surface of the body should be wiped until the skin turns slightly red, which will help reduce the temperature. Be careful not to rub the baby's chest, abdomen, and soles of the feet to avoid causing adverse reactions.
