How should febrile seizures in children be treated?

Many children have experienced febrile convulsions, which seriously affect their physical health. Therefore, children need timely treatment to ensure their health. This will ensure that their condition will not worsen. In particular, attention should be paid to reducing fever in time. So how should febrile convulsions in children be treated? Let me introduce it to you below.

When you have a fever in the future, you should pay attention to:

1. Detect fever in children promptly and give antipyretics in time. If the child has a good physique, you can also take Chinese medicine for sedation, anti-convulsion and cooling, such as Houzaosan and Qingkailing.

2. You can keep some sedatives at home, such as Lumina, chloral hydrate, etc., and use them under the guidance of a doctor.

3. If the child’s limbs are cold, it means that the extremities circulation is poor. You can soak their feet in warm water and rub the soles of their feet with your hands.

4. Keep acupuncture needles at home, and parents should learn how to use acupuncture on the Ren Zhong and Hegu points in case of emergency.

5. Physical cooling can be used when necessary.

6. If convulsions occur, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to prevent toxic dysentery, brain disease, etc. Simple febrile convulsions usually improve after the age of 3. If they recur, one-third of them may develop into epilepsy. Pay attention to the child's mental state and intellectual development. If necessary, check the EEG or perform further examinations.

High fever convulsions belong to the category of acute convulsions in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that high fever convulsions in children are caused by exposure to external pathogens, which enter the body and turn into heat, which in turn generates wind. Traditional Chinese medicine treats febrile convulsions in children based on the principle of treating the symptoms in an emergency and the root cause in a slow manner. When a convulsion occurs, acupuncture on the Ren Zhong, Yongquan and other acupoints is performed immediately to control the convulsion as quickly as possible, and then Chinese medicine treatment can be carried out. When a child has a high fever convulsion, the fever is high, the limbs twitch, and the eyes are staring straight ahead. The symptoms usually subside after about 3 to 5 minutes.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I would like to introduce to you. According to the above methods for treatment, it can well ensure the health of the child and avoid the situation where the above problems affect the health of the child. If problems arise, timely treatment is required. Let me introduce it to you below.
