Question
Boy, 2 years old, My child suddenly collapsed and had a seizure yesterday, which has never happened before and scared us all. I want to ask, can a child’s seizure be life-threatening?
Answer
Generally speaking, fever-induced seizures do not directly lead to a life-threatening situation in children; they are usually brief and recurrent episodes. With timely treatment, recovery is possible, and the impact on the child’s brain is minimal. However, if fever-induced convulsions lead to other complications, they may affect the child’s brain and even their life. The treatment methods for the disease vary depending on the condition, and it is recommended that patients seek medical attention for detailed examinations as soon as possible to adopt appropriate treatment based on the cause.
