What are the sequelae of high fever convulsions

If a child has a high fever and convulsions, parents need to pay attention to it, because if it is not dealt with promptly and effectively, it will pose a greater threat to the child. Therefore, you must pay attention to it and deal with your baby's high fever correctly and reduce the temperature scientifically.

1. Febrile convulsion is a common emergency in young children, with an incidence rate of 3% to 5%. It is often accompanied by a rise in body temperature, and the child suddenly begins to tremble, twitch, and clench his teeth. In pediatric emergencies, we often see parents who send their children to the hospital because of high fever and convulsions. They are panic-stricken and even incoherent. They are so sad that "all they can do is cry", but it is difficult for them to think of giving their children any first aid before sending them to the hospital. Parents, if you see your child having a febrile convulsion, you must stay calm as much as possible, take good care of your child while calling 120, and take the following measures before the ambulance arrives to relieve your child's discomfort as much as possible.

2. Lay the child flat on his back with his head tilted to one side. When a child has a convulsion, his or her teeth will be clenched, and some will have oral secretions and may even vomit. The child should tilt his or her head to one side to allow drainage and avoid suffocation by aspiration. Parents can loosen their children's collars slightly to allow them to breathe freely, while pressing the Hegu and Renzhong acupoints.

3. In addition, if the child does not have obvious chills when having a fever, there is no need to keep him overwarmed. Appropriate exposure can also increase heat dissipation. If the body temperature is rising and the child has chills, he or she can be kept warm appropriately. Parents can also give their children some physical cooling, such as sponge baths or head cooling.

4. In addition, children are prone to biting their tongues when their teeth are clenched. At this time, if you can insert the back of a spoon, tongue depressor, etc. into the child's mouth, it can play a protective role. However, if the child's teeth are closed very tightly, this measure should not be forced, otherwise it may cause damage. Director Qu Dong suggested that families with children with a history of convulsions could prepare some medical tongue depressors just in case. When a child has a convulsion, it is forbidden to give him medicine as it may cause accidental aspiration.
