Question
My son is 8 years old and experienced a convulsion on July 24, 2015. The symptoms included straight arms, eyes rolled back, urine incontinence, and unconsciousness, with a body temperature of 39 degrees. I am asking for the reason.
Answer
The body temperature reached 39 degrees during the attack. If there has been a history of multiple high fever convulsions in the past, this time it may be caused by high fever convulsions. There is still a chance for an 8-year-old child to suffer from this disease, and it may be a complex type of high fever convulsion, which is more difficult to treat. It is recommended to control body temperature in the future and use fever-reducing patches and oral ibuprofen suspension when the body temperature rises. Currently, it is not recommended to immediately consider epilepsy, but attention should be paid to and control of body temperature rise to reduce the occurrence of convulsions.
