How to observe and treat infants with fever and convulsions

The health of babies affects the mood of parents. We all know that parents must be very concerned about their children's illness. So what should we do if the child has a fever? Children's fever is very critical. If you are not careful, it may leave a root of disease in the future. This is not okay. Babies will twitch when they have a fever. Do you know why? The following editor would like to introduce the specific situation to you!

When children have a fever, they may suddenly experience convulsions all over the body or in parts of the body. Sometimes they may even become unconscious and their eyes droop in the blink of an eye, which is really frightening and makes people feel at a loss as to what to do. This symptom, which causes temporary loss of consciousness, is called febrile convulsions. It is most likely to occur in children with poor physical constitution and young age (six months to five years old), and is accompanied by a high fever (upper respiratory tract infection). The probability of boys being affected is higher than that of girls.

These febrile seizures are not immediately fatal (the chances are very low), so if they occur you must remain calm and don't get too nervous by shaking or rubbing your child's hands and feet. If vomiting occurs, turn your head to one side to prevent vomitus from blocking your airway. If the convulsions continue within five minutes, or if the convulsions stop but the person is unconscious, medical attention must be sought immediately. While sending the person to the hospital, consideration should also be given to whether the airway is unobstructed.

Many children between six months and five or six years old may suddenly experience convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and loss of consciousness after catching a cold and having a fever. At this time, parents and kindergarten teachers were particularly nervous and even took some inappropriate protective measures.

First of all, it should be understood that due to the poor development of the central nervous system of children between six months and six years old, especially when they have a fever, it is easy to induce abnormal synchronous discharge of brain neurons. When brain neurons discharge abnormally, the whole body will convulse.

Children who often suffer from colds, sore throats and fevers should be carefully cared for, seek medical attention promptly if they have a fever, and reduce fever in time to prevent convulsions caused by high fever. When convulsions occur, emergency treatment is required, such as lying on the side, loosening the collar, cooling down, and placing chopsticks or the handle of a toothbrush between the upper and lower teeth to prevent biting the tongue. You can also press the Ren Zhong point. Children who experience repeated febrile convulsions may develop epilepsy in the future, so parents should pay attention to this. As children grow older, the development of the cerebral cortex gradually improves, and the number of convulsions in most children with febrile convulsions will gradually decrease until they disappear.

After introducing so much, you must have a general understanding of the child's convulsion. In fact, the child needs to slowly treat this condition. As long as it is timely and accurate, we will not have too many problems. I hope you can understand the usefulness of some of the suggestions we give you. I hope your children are healthy!
