Question
After a child coughed, they suddenly fainted during the noon hour, their face turned blue, and after rescue, they regained consciousness with a body temperature of 38.5 degrees. After medication, their temperature returned to normal, but their tongue was injured. How should one handle a similar situation next time?
Answer
When faced with a child having a fever and convulsions, it is crucial to remain calm and avoid injuries from falling due to convulsions. If the convulsions are brief, usually no excessive intervention is needed, as the convulsions will stop on their own. If the convulsions last for a long time or recur frequently, immediate medical attention should be sought for medication treatment and oxygen therapy.
