Question
How can one understand the causes of infants and young children experiencing recurring high fever accompanied by seizures?
Answer
The occurrence of seizures in infants and young children during high fever, commonly known as febrile seizures, is relatively common. However, frequent febrile seizures may affect brain function. To determine the cause, it is advisable to take the child to a large hospital for a comprehensive examination, including 24-hour EEG monitoring, electrolyte tests, blood sugar tests, and screening for hereditary metabolic diseases. These tests help to rule out potential causes and provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment plans.
