Question
What should be done when a 9-year-old child has a cold with a sore throat?
Answer
Generally speaking, children under three years old may experience febrile convulsions due to an underdeveloped nervous system during high fever. As they grow older, the likelihood of such occurrences decreases. Local doctors suggest that after discharge, a Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG) examination at a children’s hospital should be conducted to rule out other causes of twitching. I hope this advice is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
