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

Babies are fragile angels, and mothers are afraid that their children will have various problems during their growth, including various physical diseases. For example, the most common high fever can also cause convulsions and other problems. Mothers must be anxious and want to know scientific care methods. So in order to answer mothers’ questions, let’s take a look at what to do if children have a high fever and convulsions.

Positioning When your baby has a seizure, lay him or her flat on the bed, making sure he or she does not come into contact with 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 to undress the baby, and rub the baby's 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 promote sweating 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.

Please note that the above are emergency treatment measures for babies with fever and convulsions. When the baby has a fever and convulsions, if parents can take necessary measures in time, they can avoid or reduce the complications caused by high temperature convulsions.

If the convulsion lasts more than 4 minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately; if it is less than 4 minutes, you can wait until the child feels better and rests for a while before going to the hospital.

Now that we know the solution to children's high fever and convulsions, mothers don't have to be at a loss when encountering such situations, nor do they have to worry about incorrect and unscientific methods causing sequelae in their children. At the same time, taking care of children requires not only knowing scientific care methods, but also mothers need to care for them patiently and carefully so that their children can be healthy, grow up happily, and have a wonderful childhood.
