What happens to seizures in children? Will it burn out a child s brain?

The child's convulsions are often caused by high fever, so he must pay attention when he still has a fever, if it does not go away for a long time, he must go to the hospital to see a doctor, if the fever continues for a long time, it will burn the brain.

A child's convulsions are a fever and then a sudden convulsion, which usually happens to children, and it will burn to the brain. Parents must be taken to the hospital in time.

Convulsions are sudden generalized or localized convulsions in children, in fact, children's febrile convulsions, as long as parents deal with them in time, generally do not affect brain development.

Such a situation means that the child has a high fever is very serious, at this time you should go to the hospital for examination in time, if the examination is not controlled in time, it will definitely burn out the child's brain.

First, correct a misconception. Although febrile seizures are similar to seizures, febrile seizures cannot be compared to epilepsy. Febrile seizures are post-seizure symptoms without brain damage; Epilepsy is a disease; Brain damage after a seizure.

In other words, febrile seizures are not associated with epilepsy, so febrile seizures do not turn into epilepsy. The analysis showed that febrile seizures were mostly simple seizures, which were manifested by seizures, sudden loss of consciousness in children, upturned or squinted eyes, closed teeth, cyanosis around the mouth, stiff and convulsions of the limbs, and convulsions lasting about 5 minutes.

<> epilepsy is mostly generalized, manifested by sudden onset, loss of consciousness, upturned eyes, closed teeth, foaming at the mouth, stiff neck, generalized myoclonus and stiff convulsions, incontinence, prolonged convulsions, and prone to short-term seizures**. The main symptom of seizures in children is seizures. In general, there are two types of febrile seizures, one simple and the other complex.

The prognosis of simple febrile seizures is good, occurring only 1-2 times, and generally not ** when they grow up. However, complex febrile seizures occur at the time of fever**. After causing damage to neurons in the brain, they can still be ** without fever and may also be secondary epilepsy.

Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to have an EEG checked to prevent another convulsion from causing injury. Fever cramps are not uncommon around us. We often hear of or experience fever and convulsions in infants.

The incidence in children is . Panic, because most children have a sudden and significant increase in body temperature, is commonly referred to as panic in China. This disorder is the most common neurological disorder in infants and young children.

While most children with epilepsy** respond well, the incidence of advanced epilepsy is significantly higher than in normal children.

The definition of febrile seizures is not universal. Some foreign authors have proposed from a broad perspective that in any febrile illness in children, the convulsions caused by abnormal firing of brain neurons with a body temperature of more than 38 °C are febrile seizures.

Most scholars believe that febrile seizures that occur in the following diseases should not be diagnosed as febrile seizures: (1) central nervous system infection; (2) central nervous system diseases (head injury, hemorrhage, space-occupying lesions, cerebral edema and epilepsy); 3) Severe systemic metabolic disorders, such as hypoxia, water and electrolyte disorders, endocrine disorders, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, vitamin deficiency and poisoning, etc.

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 hyperosmotic, the patient will have dry mouth, thirst, irritability and even nonsense or cramps, the fever will not only not go away but 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 is only good skin twitching 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.

It depends on what kind of convulsion it is.

If it is determined that the fever is causing the call, and the seizure lasts for a few minutes, then it is generally not a major problem.

However, if you are over 5 years old with the first call, or if the convulsions last for more than 5 minutes, or if you are sick and have convulsions more than once, then it will be troublesome.

If your child has febrile seizures and has symptoms such as difficulty breathing, drooling, purple, rolling eyes, or involuntary tremors in the limbs, immediately place your child in a side lying position and remove hard objects around you. On the one hand, make sure that there is nothing in the child's mouth, and on the other hand, during a convulsive attack, never put anything in the child's mouth (pediatricians prohibit parents from putting things in the child's mouth, you can refer to medical **Q&A or mobile phone software, such as Mother and Child Paradise or Spring Rain Pocket Doctor, etc.). When the convulsions are over, wipe the vomit off his mouth with a towel.

Try to make a note of the duration of your convulsive episode, which should usually be between 10 seconds and three or four minutes.

When your child's convulsions have passed, find ways to cool your child down, which will not only make him feel more comfortable, but may also prevent your child from having another convulsion. If your child is awake, you can give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen (but note that your child should not take ibuprofen until he is at least 6 months old). You can also take off your child's clothes and scrub him with a towel dipped in lukewarm water.

If your child is still on a liquid diet, give him rice soup or warm milk.

Even if your child's symptoms of convulsions are mild or last only a few seconds, it's best to take him to the hospital for further testing. If your child has difficulty breathing after a convulsive attack, call 120 for emergency services** immediately. If your child becomes blue during a seizure, has a seizure that lasts more than a few minutes, or is groggy and listless after the seizure, you should take him to the emergency room immediately.

If you treat it in time, it will have little impact on the child in the future. However, the ** rate of high-fever convulsions within a year is 30%. However, this also means that 70% of affected children will not**.

As children get older, the chance of having a second seizure decreases with each passing year. Children over the age of 6 years have a very small chance of having a high fever and seizures.

1.Simple febrile seizures do not affect the child's intelligence or later in life, and usually do not occur again after the age of 4. (Simple febrile seizures are those that occur by chance, are of short duration, have a high fever, and the child recovers quickly after the attack).

2.Complicated febrile convulsions, that is, multiple febrile convulsions, and the body temperature is not very high, more than 38 degrees on the menstrual period, lasting more than 10 minutes, etc., this is not very good, it is possible to grow up and have epilepsy in the future, of course, this is not certain.

3.Children with this history may grow up and get married and have babies in the future, and there is a certain genetic predisposition.

If you have a fever, you must give Bao antipyretic medicine, and if you have a convulsion, it should be very hot, right?

Hello doctor; My child has had a fever cramp and foam from one year and four months to two years and five months, and it has been sent for the third time, and it has been sent for the second time at two years and four months. Will it affect brain development?

Febrile seizures are convulsions caused by untimely fever**, similar to the onset of epilepsy, seizure conditions, epilepsy is irregular seizures, and convulsions are convulsions only in the presence of fever.

Epilepsy is more difficult to treat, the rate is very low, and it is easier for children to have convulsions, and it will not be cured.

Some of the convulsions in children will get better naturally, that is, they will no longer have convulsions, but there will also be some epilepsy. I hope you can pay attention to it, but don't rush to the doctor, and at the same time wish your child a speedy **.

Another: Generally, children can not find anything wrong with CT and EEG under normal conditions, even if there is a discharge phenomenon, it is not obvious, if you do EEG, it is recommended that the child check it next time he has a cold, it is best to do a 12 24 hours, so that the condition is clearer!

My baby has been in the same situation as your child and is now preparing to have an EEG, and I am worried.

It seems that you are a very responsible mother! However, the situation you are talking about should be said to be your own problem. My baby and your baby are 5 months apart, if you can find the baby's cold symptoms in time and prevent colds in time, I think it will save a lot of trouble and worry.

It is recommended that you pay attention to improving your baby's nutrition** and observe your baby's behavior. If you still have questions, I'd love to talk to you.
