Question
Why does a child have whole-body twitching when they have a fever?
Answer
Fever and seizures in children are often considered a sign of high fever convulsions. Firstly, a single episode of high fever convulsion generally poses little harm to the child’s brain, but if it recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo brain CT (or MRI), dynamic electroencephalogram, and other examinations to confirm the cause before treatment is implemented. At the same time, if the child has a history of high fever convulsions, it is generally recommended to start temperature control when the body temperature is below 37.5 degrees.
