Question
Could a child’s fever-induced convulsions lead to epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. Most children with high fever convulsions have a good prognosis, but there is still a certain percentage that may develop into epilepsy. Parents should pay attention and seek early treatment to reduce the risk of developing epilepsy. At the same time, they should create a good living environment for their child, arrange daily routines and dietary habits reasonably, to promote the healthy growth of their child.
