Three-year-old baby convulsions

The baby's body is very fragile and can be easily affected by adverse factors, leading to serious health problems and posing great hidden dangers to the baby's growth. For example, neurological problems in babies are a common example. Symptoms such as convulsions make babies suffer a lot, and the causes of convulsions are very complicated. Let’s take a look at what to do if your three-year-old baby has convulsions?

This may be caused by the child's calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take the child for an electrolyte test. If you are really worried, you can go to the neurology department for some relevant examinations to rule out whether the convulsions are caused by some other nervous system diseases.

Once epilepsy is diagnosed, efforts should be made to identify the cause. The medical history should include inquiries into family history, birth and growth and development, and history of encephalitis, meningitis, brain trauma, etc. Check for neurological signs, systemic diseases, etc. Then select relevant examinations, such as cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT, blood sugar, blood calcium, cerebrospinal fluid examination, etc., to further identify the cause of the disease.

Countermeasures:

1. Parents should remain calm.

Don't panic, shout, shake or hit your child. If the child's head tilts back and his limbs are straight and stiff, do not bend his limbs forcefully and try to minimize stimulation to the child.

2. Let the child lie flat

Tilt the person's head to one side to prevent saliva and vomit from entering the trachea and causing suffocation or aspiration pneumonia. At the same time, unbutton the child's collar to prevent the neck from being too tight and affecting the smoothness of the airway.

3. Prevent children from biting their tongues

To prevent your baby from biting his tongue, you can twist a handkerchief into a twist and stuff it between the baby's front teeth.

4. Adjust your posture

When your baby has a seizure, lay him or her flat on his or her back, making sure he or she is not touching 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.
