Question
A 2-year-old girl has been experiencing twitching symptoms recently. Parents are worried about how to handle the child’s fever and seizure.
Answer
When a child has a fever and seizure, first place the child in a quiet environment and use a towel or clothing to prevent biting the tongue. Parents can use a cold towel or ice pack to cool the child’s forehead, which helps dissipate body heat and lower the temperature. If the symptoms do not subside, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately. The treatment method varies depending on each patient’s condition, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for detailed examination to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
