Question
Is it necessary to undergo related examinations if a child has multiple episodes of high fever seizures?
Answer
For pediatric high fever seizures, the following measures are recommended: 1. Strengthen the child’s constitution, pay attention to warmth, and reduce the possibility of illness. 2. Pay close attention and promptly detect fever symptoms. 3. Keep antipyretic medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen at home and use them during fever, alternating as necessary. (Avoid using aspirin and nimesulide) 4. If seizures occur repeatedly and last for a longer duration, consider using sedative medications. 5. If the child meets the criteria for febrile seizures, it is generally not recommended to perform an EEG examination abroad, as even if the results are abnormal, they have no predictive value for the prognosis. In China, EEG examinations are often recommended, but they may lead to overdiagnosis and treatment, as well as unnecessary concerns.
