Question
Can pediatric epilepsy cause intermittent fever?
Answer
One of the symptoms of epilepsy may include fever, but it is typically associated with seizures. According to the parents’ description, the child’s fever may be due to diagnosed pediatric epilepsy, but it could also be caused by recent bronchitis. Bronchitis is a severe inflammation that can lead to prolonged fever. It is recommended to continue with intravenous treatment and possibly undergo routine blood tests to determine the cause of the fever. At the same time, close attention should be paid to the child’s condition, and medical help should be sought promptly to prevent the deterioration of the illness.
