Question

Does a seven-year-old child with a history of multiple high fever convulsions have epilepsy symptoms?

Answer

High fever convulsions typically occur during a fever. If other symptoms are present during an attack, a brain examination may be necessary. It is recommended to undergo an EEG examination. If the results show spikes, it may indicate epilepsy. Treatment can include medications such as phenytoin, and it is important to supplement calcium, as calcium deficiency is common in this age group of children.
