Question
I have a one-year-old daughter who recently caught a cold and has been running a fever that hasn’t fully recovered. Last night, she had a sudden high fever and convulsions, which then resolved on their own. Should I bring her to see a doctor again?
Answer
Fever and convulsions in children can be quite serious. While there is no definitive research on the cause of fever and convulsions, improper treatment can lead to fainting or even brain damage in the child. It is advisable to take the child to a pediatric hospital for a comprehensive examination immediately.
