Question
If a three-year-old child has a high fever, seizures, and foams at the mouth, does traditional Chinese medicine recommend eating live scorpions every day?
Answer
The child is experiencing high fever and seizures due to tonsillitis. Firstly, it is essential to determine the cause of the seizures. If they are due to fever, it is important to actively treat the underlying disease, control body temperature, and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Seizures can be caused by various factors, such as epilepsy, high fever, or brain parasites. It is advisable to actively treat tonsillitis, perform symptomatic treatment, and prevent infection. It is not recommended to use medication for treatment, especially eating scorpions, as they are highly toxic.
