Question
These days, there have been significant changes in the weather, and my child has caught a cold with a high fever. Yesterday, they suddenly started having convulsive seizures, and I’m worried it might be a seizure. What are the symptoms of pediatric fever seizures?
Answer
Pediatric fever seizures are relatively common in children aged three to five years old, with the main symptoms being convulsions, loss of consciousness, frothing at the mouth, and staring eyes. Some children may also experience incontinence of urine and stool, as well as trembling limbs. This condition often occurs during prolonged high fever or a sudden rise in body temperature. In such cases, anticonvulsant medication should be administered to the child, which can be administered through intramuscular or intravenous injection of sedatives to control the seizures.
