Question
My one-year-old has a fever of 41.5 degrees Celsius due to a cold, with two chills and a jump-like reaction as if scared. Is this a fever-induced seizure, and will it affect the child’s future?
Answer
Case Analysis: The baby’s fever can be treated with physical cooling (cooling), such as using a 25%-50% alcohol sponge bath method for physical cooling. Alternatively, cold compresses can be applied, placing a wet cold towel on the forehead, wrist, and lower calf, while the rest of the body should be covered with clothing. Ibuprofen granules can also be used to reduce the fever.
