Question
If a child has a history of fever convulsions and encounters a seizure caused by low fever in the pediatric emergency department, how should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, there is a possibility of another convulsion during high fever, which may cause damage to the brain tissue. When high fever occurs, the seizure may happen again. It is recommended to cool the patient down promptly and conduct an EEG to determine the cause of the convulsion, so that timely treatment can be administered.
