How can we prevent transmission? Previous rescue situation and effect: None. Desired assistance: How to prevent transmission.
Answer
Seizures caused by high fever in children should be considered as febrile convulsions. This time’s high fever is likely due to mycoplasma and bacterial infections. First, actively treat against mycoplasma and bacteria. Second, whenever the child has a fever again, regardless of the temperature, seek medical attention promptly, bring fever-reducing medication, and take it as necessary, without waiting for the body temperature to drop below 38.5 degrees. Additionally, one can prepare some sedative drugs (such as Luminal, Valium) at home. In case the child has a fever again, administer them to reduce the excitement of the nervous system and lower the possibility of another febrile convulsion.
