Question
A 3-year-old girl, the baby at home suddenly had a fever at night after being fine during the day. How should one handle the emergency situation of a child having a fever and seizures?
Answer
When a child experiences convulsions due to fever, they should be lying flat with half-sitting position to ensure smooth breathing. Use lukewarm water to wipe their body for physical cooling and administer oral fever-reducing medicine as prescribed by the doctor. If the convulsion lasts less than four minutes, seek medical attention immediately. The treatment method varies depending on the condition, and it is recommended to go to a professional hospital for detailed examinations as soon as possible to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
