Question
A 3-year-old girl, the baby at home suddenly has a fever at night. I want to know what febrile convulsions are about?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, it is considered to be caused by a febrile seizure. This condition resembles an epilepsy, but it is not epilepsy. Febrile seizures are related to a child’s brain development and a lower threshold for movement. No special treatment is required, but in the future, if the child has a cold with fever again, antipyretic medication should be administered immediately to prevent another febrile seizure. The specific treatment method varies depending on the condition, and it is recommended to visit a professional hospital for detailed examination to develop a targeted treatment plan.
