Question
A two-year-old and three-month-old boy has experienced seizures twice due to high fever within 2006. What emergency measures should be taken if this phenomenon occurs again?
Answer
If such a phenomenon occurs again, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment. At home, you can keep fever-reducing medication on hand for emergencies. A single episode of high fever seizure usually does not cause brain damage, but the primary task is to effectively control the child’s body temperature. If oral fever-reducing medication is ineffective, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment. In addition, it is suggested that an EEG (and dynamic EEG if necessary) be performed after the child recovers to further assess the child’s health condition.
