What should I do if my baby walks unsteadily after having a fever?

Babies are very susceptible to viral infections, which can cause some diseases. Cold and fever are the most common conditions. Some parents have found that their babies walk unsteadily after having a fever. This situation is very worrying for parents, who are afraid that it will affect their children's future growth. Therefore, they need to take some effective measures to treat it in time. So here is what to do if your baby walks unsteadily after having a fever?

It may be a fever caused by a cold or other diseases, such as Japanese encephalitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, bronchitis and other diseases can cause fever. Hello: It is recommended to reduce the child's fever physically first, such as taking a warm bath, wiping the child's body with warm water, applying ice, etc. You can also use drugs to reduce fever, such as Motrin, ibuprofen suspension, cooling patches, etc. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, find out the cause of the fever, and receive timely treatment to avoid worsening of the condition.

In this case, there is a high possibility that the child is suffering from febrile convulsions. The child's unsteady gait is related to previous convulsions. It is also possible that the child has been lying in bed after being ill and may feel uncomfortable when he just gets out of bed.

Guidance:

1. It is recommended to do an EEG for the child to rule out the possibility of abnormal brain discharges.

2. If you have a fever again in the future, no matter how high the temperature is, please seek medical attention promptly and bring antipyretics with you. If necessary, take oral medication before seeking medical attention, without having to wait until your temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees. In addition, you can also prepare some sedatives at home (such as Lumina, Valium). Once the child has a fever, feed him some to reduce the excitement of his central nervous system and reduce the possibility of another high fever convulsion.
