How to prevent sequelae caused by convulsions due to cold and fever?

Many people often suffer from convulsions and cramps in their daily lives. Most of these symptoms are caused by colds and fevers. In particular, many people have low body resistance and will feel cold and shiver after a cold. Their nerves are tense and they will have convulsions. Patients should rule out epilepsy as a problem and be careful about the sequelae. Therefore, they must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and take good care to prevent neurological problems.

1. Prevention of cramps

1. Actively treat the primary disease according to the cause to prevent it. For example, epileptic patients need to take medication as prescribed by their doctors. If they suddenly stop taking the medication, even for 1 to 2 days, it will cause epileptic seizures. For example, children are prone to cramps when they have a high fever, so timely fever reduction can prevent cramps; tetanus can cause cramps, so tetanus vaccine should be given to prevent tetanus; rabies can cause cramps, so it is important to prevent dog bites, and if bitten by a dog, go to the hospital for treatment immediately; livestock with rabies should be killed immediately; calcium deficiency can cause cramps, so children should supplement calcium (eat more calcium-containing foods, take calcium gluconate, calcium tablets, etc. when necessary), and at the same time get more sun exposure and take cod liver oil, etc.

2. To prevent gastrocnemius cramps, do sufficient warm-up exercises before strenuous exercise or swimming. To prevent cramps in this area when sleeping at night, avoid over-tiredness during the day and avoid exposing your legs to cold at night.

Second, first aid for cramps

If sudden systemic cramps occur, you should stay calm and stop the cramps, and see a doctor immediately. Generally, cramps will not endanger life immediately, so there is no need to panic.

1. Emergency measures taken before the doctor arrives:

1. Immediately lay the child flat on the bed, with the head tilted to one side and slightly tilted back, the neck slightly raised, and the patient's tie, belt, waist belt, etc. loosen, being careful not to let the patient fall to the ground.

2. Quickly clear the secretions and vomit from the mouth, nose, throat and throat to ensure the patency of the respiratory tract and prevent the tongue from falling back. To prevent the teeth from biting the tongue, a tongue depressor or chopsticks wrapped in gauze or cloth should be placed between the upper and lower teeth. And pinch and press the Ren Zhong and Hegu acupoints with your fingers. All the above requirements must be completed quickly within a few seconds.
