How to determine the cause of a child’s epilepsy and find effective treatment methods?
Children’s fever accompanied by convulsions and vomiting may be symptoms of fever cramps or epilepsy, and should be treated early to avoid brain damage.
Children’s muscle cramps may be caused by upper respiratory infections, more common in weak children aged six months to five years, often accompanied by high fever. During febrile convulsions, maintain calm, avoid shaking or rubbing the child, and ensure the airway is clear. If symptoms persist or are accompanied by unconsciousness, seek medical attention immediately. Febrile convulsions are different from epilepsy; the former is usually triggered by fever, while the latter has no clear trigger. Parents can observe if the child frequently has unprovoked twitching to differentiate between the two. If in doubt, a brain imaging scan and EEG can be performed for diagnosis.
