What's wrong with the child's convulsions?

Children are always prone to various physical problems. When a problem occurs, parents cannot find the cause and cannot prescribe the right medicine, which causes the child's physical problems to become more and more serious. Some parents may find that their children will twitch unconsciously in their daily lives. Sometimes the twitching is very severe, and sometimes the twitching stops after a while. Parents will worry about what problems may occur to their children, so what exactly is wrong with children's convulsions?

Febrile convulsions account for the highest proportion. High fever is the most common cause of convulsions in children. The pathological process of febrile convulsions is that the brain nerves of infants and young children are prone to uncontrolled "discharge" and are far less stable than the brain nerves of adults. The rapid rise in body temperature causes abnormal discharge of brain cells, resulting in sudden unconsciousness, stiff and twitching limbs, foaming at the mouth, drooping eyeballs, blue lips, etc. Convulsions usually occur within 24 hours of high fever and most are whole-body convulsions. However, the convulsions are very brief and most occur in children between 6 months and 4 years old. Children with febrile convulsions usually have good energy after a short sleep after the convulsion, unlike those with meningitis, encephalitis or other problems who continue to lethargy.

Epilepsy usually presents as recurring seizures with brief disturbances in consciousness and sensation. It is mainly caused by the improper development of the child's nervous system, which leads to excessive abnormal discharges in the cerebral cortex due to stimulation. When a pediatric convulsion occurs due to epilepsy, most children will become unconscious, with their eyes closed or half-open with their eyeballs rolled up, their jaws clenched, the corners of their mouth twitching, their head tilted back, their limbs repeatedly flexed and extended, their lips purple, and their body rigid for a dozen seconds to several minutes. Epilepsy is a disease that runs in families. There are various causes of epilepsy in children and the clinical manifestations vary. First of all, we must find out the cause and make a diagnosis. Children choose appropriate treatment and take medicine on time and in the prescribed amount according to the doctor's instructions. The condition of most children is controlled or cured.

Tetanus is usually caused by infection following an injury. Tetanus in children is generally caused by incomplete disinfection of the umbilical cord. The typical symptom of tetanus is paroxysmal severe spasms based on muscle tension contraction (muscle rigidity and stiffness). Usually the first muscle group affected is the chewing muscles, followed by the facial expression muscles, neck, back, abdomen, limb muscles, and finally the diaphragm.
