Child has high fever and convulsions

Children's fever is the most annoying thing for parents, because children's resistance is very weak. If the fever is serious, the threat to the child's life and health exists at any time. Therefore, protecting children from the impact of fever is the biggest responsibility of every mother. Some children will have repeated fevers and accompanied by convulsions. Parents are very scared about this. So, what should we do if children have high fever and convulsions?

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.

2. Take a warm bath: Taking a bath can help dissipate heat. If your baby is in good spirits when he has a fever, you can give him more baths and adjust the water temperature between 27 and 37 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to give your baby a hot bath, otherwise it will easily cause vasodilation throughout the body, increase oxygen consumption, easily lead to ischemia and hypoxia, and aggravate the condition.

3. Soak your feet in hot water: Soaking your feet can promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort. Another benefit of soaking your baby's feet when he has a fever is that it can help reduce the temperature. You can use a large basin or a small bucket for foot soaking. Pour 2/3 of the basin with water. The water temperature should be slightly higher than usual, around 40 degrees Celsius, and it should be based on what the baby can adapt to. When soaking the baby's feet, the mother can rub the baby's two little feet, which can not only dilate the blood vessels but also relieve the discomfort caused by fever.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of children having high fever and convulsions is a relatively serious fever phenomenon, which poses a huge health threat to ordinary children. Therefore, parents should strengthen their supervision of their babies in life, pay attention to adding clothes for their babies at any time, and prevent their babies from having a fever due to climate reasons.
