Question
What tests should be conducted for a child with high fever and seizures?
Answer
In cases where a child has high fever and seizures, the first consideration is high fever seizures, but it is also necessary to rule out intracranial diseases or brain injuries. Therefore, a head CT scan, EEG examination, and transcranial Doppler examination should be conducted for an accurate diagnosis. If these tests come back normal, it may be a simple seizure caused by high fever. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether the child experiences seizures again.
