Question
Are winter colds, coughs, low fever, and sudden fits epilepsy symptoms?
Answer
A one-year-old child experienced fever and sudden fits following a cold in winter. The fits ceased after medication was administered. Two days prior, the child had another cold, accompanied by phlegm in the throat that couldn’t be coughed up. The baby had an unexpected fit at night, with a body temperature measured at 38 degrees half an hour later. Should this be considered epilepsy symptoms? How should the child be treated? The doctor recommended using cefixime and cold medicine with fever-reducing granules, advised plenty of rest, and avoidance of spicy foods. The doctor also reminded parents that if pediatric epilepsy is not treated promptly or appropriately, the condition may rapidly worsen. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek medical attention promptly.
