Question
How should I handle a seizure in a 7-year-old child with high fever? The child experienced a seizure with an unconscious state and incontinence for 30 seconds during a fever of 39 degrees two weeks ago. They had previously experienced seizures at 3 and 6 years old, with consciousness recovering quickly. A CT scan was normal, but the EEG done previously indicated slight abnormalities. The doctor said they cannot determine if it is epilepsy. What should I do in this situation? Thank you!
Answer
Disease Analysis: The issue mainly involves heat injury leading to disturbances in the heart and liver, affecting the mind and spirit. This generally results in yellowish urine. Doctor’s Inquiry: How is the child’s diet and bowel movement? We know that seizures in newborns can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect treatment methods, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek timely medical treatment.
