Question
How should one treat seizures in children during a fever?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the child experienced seizures during two episodes of fever, one lasting about 10 minutes and accompanied by vomiting white foam. This is a symptom of high fever convulsions, which typically occur in infants aged between 5 to 6 months, as their nervous system is not fully developed. It is recommended that when the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, active physical cooling measures should be taken, such as drinking plenty of water, and using lukewarm water and alcohol to wipe the body to help reduce fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as fever-reducing suppositories or oral nimesulide should be administered immediately. These are the recommendations for “What should I do if my child has a fever and seizures?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
