Question
A 2-year-old girl, the baby at home was normal during the day but suddenly had a fever at night. She wants to understand the difference between fever convulsions and shivering.
Answer
The difference between fever convulsions and shivering lies in the fact that fever-induced convulsions are brief, whole-body muscle tremors, while shivering is typically caused by cold and manifests as whole-body tremors. It is recommended that if a child has a fever, cooling measures should be taken to prevent further convulsions. Treatment methods for diseases vary depending on the condition, so it is necessary to take the child to a professional hospital for detailed examination as soon as possible, in order to adopt appropriate treatment measures for the condition.
