Question
How to handle a 7-year-old child’s high fever seizure?
The child experienced a seizure at a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius two weeks ago, with loss of consciousness and incontinence for 30 seconds before recovering. This has happened once before at the age of 3 and once at the age of 6, all of which quickly regained consciousness. The CT scan was normal, and the EEG showed slight abnormalities, with the doctor saying that it cannot be determined whether it is epilepsy. What should be done in this situation? Thank you!
Answer
Disease Analysis: The issue is primarily due to heat injury.
Mostly, it is a problem caused by the disturbance of heart and liver fire affecting the mind, resulting in generally yellow urine.
Doctor’s Inquiry: How is the child’s diet and bowel movement? We know that newborn seizures can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, which can bring great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment in a timely manner.
