Question
A child of half a year old has had two high fever seizures in three years, concerned about the impact on the brain and how to prevent them.
Answer
Simple high fever seizures typically do not have a long-term negative impact on brain function and development. As children grow older and their brains mature, this condition usually resolves on its own. Complex high fever seizures may result in a poorer prognosis, including a higher risk of developing epilepsy. Strategies for preventing high fever seizures include: avoiding exposure to overheating environments, increasing outdoor activities to adapt to temperature changes, adjusting diet reasonably to enhance immunity, and timely cooling during hot periods.
