What must be paid attention to when the baby has a fever and convulsions?

When babies are sick, they will have fever and convulsions, which can affect the quality of your child's sleep. After the seizure, they will cry very much, so that the parents have no choice. At this time, parents should always have some antipyretic medicines at home, and when the child has a fever, give it to the child, which can avoid the aggravation of the child's symptoms and reduce the convulsions.

A child's seizures are caused by a fever and can be caused when convulsions occur in a localized area of the body.

When a child has a seizure, the symptoms are squinting of the eyeballs and may cause loss of consciousness. High fever can cause children to have convulsions, this situation generally appears in children between six months and four years old, if it is a more complex convulsion, then be sure to take the child to the hospital for examination, to find out what is the main cause of convulsions? It can be resolved according to the specific symptoms.

If it is a symptom caused by high fever, in daily life, we must pay good attention to the child's body, when the child's body temperature is too high and the temperature is abnormal, parents should give the child some antipyretics. Wait until the child's symptoms are relieved before observation, if it is really serious, you need to go to the hospital to solve the child's condition. When the child has a convulsion, the face will turn blue, saliva will appear, and the body will twitch all the time, and when this kind of convulsion appears, it will be very recurrent, and parents should not be nervous.

When your child has this kind of problem, do not move your child at will, let the child's head turn to the other side, so as to avoid vomit entering the abdominal cavity and causing the problem of trachea blockage. When your child's teeth are closed, you can stuff a cloth inside your child's mouth to avoid biting the tongue. When you have a seizure, there is often a long period of time, and parents can describe some of the child's symptoms to the doctor at this time, and the doctor can solve these problems according to the child.

When children have these problems, as a parent, do not panic, otherwise, it will also lead to many symptoms in the child.

The first is to let the baby drink more water, the second is to eat lightly, the third is to eat less and more meals, the fourth is to give the baby oral medicine, and the fifth is to cool the baby by physical cooling.

At this time, we must observe the child's condition in time, and at the same time, we should measure the child's body temperature, and also need to reduce the child's fever in time.

First of all, you must put the baby lying flat, face to the side, you can put a towel on the side of the mouth to prevent biting the tongue, the towel should not be too big, otherwise it will cause the baby to suffocate, you should take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible.

If the fever causes convulsions, then we must immediately apply fever-reducing medications. So when to start using fever reducers? Which fever reducer is safer? These are all issues that mothers are more concerned about.

First, when can I use fever reducers? If you have a cold and fever, and your body temperature exceeds or exceeds the degree, this is because the guidelines of each country and the infant and child specialist associations of each country have a slight difference in the body temperature of the fever, but if it exceeds 37 degrees, we still recommend the use of fever-reducing drugs.

Second, which antipyretic is safer? There are two types of ibuprofen suspensions and acetaminophen suspensions recommended by health authorities in various countries around the world. The use of these two drugs in infants and young children has fewer adverse effects, and certainly not without adverse effects.

There are cases of liver damage in some children with these two drugs, but the incidence of this adverse reaction is very low, ranging from 1 1 10000 according to the available clinical data. There are also some adverse drug reactions of nausea and vomiting, and when the medication is over, the adverse reactions of nausea and vomiting will disappear. Therefore, we recommend that infants and young children who take the first dose should be observed for a period of time after taking the drug in the hospital.

It is also important to note that in most cases we do not recommend alternating the use of two fever-reducing drugs unless they are hospitalized infants with more severe conditions.

Clause. 3. It is the age of using the drug, children over 6 months old can use ibuprofen, which has been well proven in the existing clinical data, if it is a child under 6 months, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine in the hospital, and never use it at home.

Therefore, we should not worry too much about the adverse reactions of drugs, and we should not take them lightly. Be sure to use fever-reducing medications under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.

Finally, Ibuprofen suspension and acetaminophen suspension should be stored in a cool place after opening the package. After 3 to 6 months of storage, these drugs should be discarded, because the expiration date of the air that the drug comes into contact with after opening the package is not the expiration date on the box

Fever is a high-incidence illness that can occur at any age. However, although everyone knows the best and prevention of fever, they do not know that fever can cause other complications. Now I will introduce to you the complications caused by fever, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Complications: 1) Because high fever is easy to cause dehydration, and because of taking antipyretics, the body loses more water when sweating heavily. Dehydration not only makes it difficult to reduce fever, but also affects metabolism and blood circulation, and acidosis occurs.

Patients must therefore be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. At the same time, the sodium concentration in the blood increases, the blood is hyperosmolar, the patient will have dry mouth and thirst, irritability and even nonsense or cramps, the fever will not go away and will be higher, hyponatremia may occur, more common in infants and young children who are usually malnourished;

2) Some patients will cause cramps and even febrile seizures. Cramps mostly occur when high fever suddenly occurs, a fever only convulsions once, rarely more than 2 times, as long as the convulsions are not long, properly handled, the impact on the child's health is not great.

3) General fever has little effect on body tissues and organs, and can accelerate the production of resistance. However, when the body temperature exceeds 41°C, the proteins in the body will be broken down, causing cerebral edema and causing the child to die or leave the sequelae of encephalopathy. Therefore, patients with a high fever of more than 40°C must be treated urgently.

4) Patients may have a rapid heartbeat due to high fever, and may also cause heart failure.

1. Do not shake the baby vigorously or forcibly control the twitching of the limbs.

2. If the baby has repeated convulsions, it is necessary to record the number of seizures, observe the location, degree and predisposing factors of convulsions, and the duration of each seizure, so that the doctor can understand the disease process and the degree of brain damage.

3. Diet and mood.

During a seizure, water and food should not be fed to avoid choking and aspiration pneumonia. After the seizure resolves, sugar water or a nutritious, easily digestible liquid or semi-liquid juice may be given, taking care to avoid excessive fatigue or excitability, which may trigger a seizure.

4. Whether children with convulsions can be vaccinated.

At present, there is a consensus that the course of febrile seizures caused by other causes is no different, and that vaccination is only through the occurrence of fever after vaccination and is associated with febrile seizures in some cases, and its development and prognosis are no different from those caused by other causes. Therefore, febrile seizures should not be a contraindication to vaccination, and at the same time, the contraindications marked in the vaccine label should be understood, and parents should carefully consider vaccines with related contraindications such as "neurological diseases" or "epilepsy".

If a high fever is present, it usually presents with febrile seizures and cramps. In the case of high fever, the patient will also show loss of consciousness, vomiting, coma, and even cause the patient to show foaming at the mouth and not white, and will also cause the patient to show physical convulsions.

In the presence of a high fever, the patient may also present with coma, chills, weakness, muscle aches, headaches, and may present with diarrhoea.

It can cause a series of adverse effects on the body, such as the digestive system, central nervous system, body fluids, and cardiovascular system. 1. Digestive system: high fever will lead to a decrease or even loss of the activity of digestive enzymes, which in turn will lead to a decrease in the function of digestion and absorption, and will also lead to the weakening of gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduce the secretion of digestive juices, and eventually lead to a significant impact on the digestive system; 2. Central nervous system:

High fever can also affect the central nervous system, and if germs enter the brain tissue, it is easy to cause headaches, vomiting, and meningitis. In addition, high fever is also more likely to induce febrile convulsions, cerebral edema and other conditions, which seriously affects life and health; 3. Body fluids: high fever will also affect the blood circulation in the body, which can easily lead to dehydration, and then the imbalance of body fluids, which will affect the metabolism of the body; 4. Cardiovascular system:

High fever will excite the sympathetic nerves, increase the metabolism of cells, increase the oxygen consumption of the body, and then accelerate blood flow and heartbeat, increase the burden on the heart, and induce the occurrence and development of heart diseases. If the germs infect the heart, it can also lead to myocarditis.

When the patient has a fever, the diet is mainly liquid and semi-liquid. It is not recommended to eat foods that are too high in calories and are not easy to digest, you can drink milk, rice soup, mung bean soup and various fresh fruit juices. You can drink more mung bean soup, which is conducive to replenishing water.

You can also eat some foods that supplement electrolytes, such as oranges, bananas and other fruits, milk and soy milk.
