Question
Male, 1 year old. My child has recently had a cold with a fever, persistent coughing, and runny nose. The condition has been fluctuating. What should I do if my child has a fever and seizures?
Answer
When a child experiences seizures due to a fever, parents should first loosen the child’s clothing and tilt the child’s head to one side to ensure the airway remains clear. At the same time, place a thick towel or clothing in the child’s mouth to prevent biting the tongue. Parents can apply an ice pack or a cool towel to the child’s forehead to quickly lower body temperature and alleviate symptoms. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but due to the varying conditions of patients, the medical treatments adopted are also different. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to go to a professional hospital for detailed examinations as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be administered.
