What to Do About Fever and Convulsion Symptoms

Question

A 10-year-old boy has a fever and complaints of body pain. He doesn’t know what’s wrong. What should be done about the symptoms of fever and convulsion?

Answer

The primary cause of recurring convulsions is usually low-grade fever. Therefore, the main treatment involves cooling measures, following medical instructions to use antipyretics, and, if necessary, intravenous fluid administration. Additionally, physical cooling methods should be employed. Apart from this, treatment for the common cold is also required, using medications for the common cold. Recently, attention should be given to staying warm and resting. Lastly, during the treatment period, patients should maintain a moderate diet, have regular sleep schedules, actively participate in physical exercise, adjust mental and physical health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened resistance.
