Question
A 7-year-old girl has poor physical condition and frequently gets fevers and colds. Is it easy for children with fever to develop epilepsy?
Answer
There is no direct causal relationship between children’s fever and epilepsy, but fever can trigger febrile seizures. A small portion of febrile seizures may develop into epilepsy. Children already undergoing epilepsy treatment may experience a recurrence of seizures during fever. Therefore, it is recommended to be vigilant about the child’s health condition, especially during fevers.
