Question
My child has a cold with a fever. What is the difference between fever convulsions and shaking?
Answer
Fever convulsions typically occur in infants, where the muscles may exhibit slight twitching as the body temperature rises, lasting generally for more than 10 minutes. Shaking, on the other hand, involves the entire body trembling, indicating a continued rise in body temperature. Both may occur simultaneously, and it is important to cool down quickly and seek professional medical examination and treatment according to specific circumstances.
