Question
A four-year-old girl, who usually has a weak physique and is prone to fevers and colds. What should be done if the child has a seizure due to fever?
Answer
When a young child has a seizure due to fever, parents should immediately take the following measures: first, use a cold cloth or ice pack to gently apply to the child’s forehead to help dissipate heat and lower the temperature. At the same time, gently insert a towel or clothing into the child’s mouth to prevent them from biting their tongue. If the child’s body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give fever-reducing medicine according to the instructions on the medicine label. However, treatment methods for various diseases are diverse and may vary due to individual differences, so it is recommended that parents take the child to a professional medical institution for a detailed examination as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
