The child has a fever, sleeps and convulses

Children with fever and sleeping convulsions may be caused by febrile convulsions, central nervous system infections, epilepsy, electrolyte disturbances, etc. 1. Febrile convulsions Febrile convulsions are a common convulsive disease in childhood, mostly occurring in children between 6 months and 5 years old., especially when the child has a fever for the first time. Because the child's nervous system is not fully developed, high fever can easily cause abnormal brain discharge, leading to convulsions. 2, central nervous system infections such as encephalitis, meningitis, etc., these diseases can lead to increased intracranial pressure, causing repeated convulsions, usually accompanied by high fever, headache, vomiting and other symptoms. 3, epilepsy epilepsy is a chronic brain disease, caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. Children in fever may induce seizures, manifested as convulsions, consciousness disorders, etc. 4, electrolyte disorders such as hypocalcemia, calcium ions in the blood to maintain neuromuscular excitability has an important role. Low calcium, neuromuscular excitability increased, easy to lead to convulsions. The treatment measures for convulsions are as follows: 1, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed Children convulsions, should immediately lie flat, head to one side, untie the collar, clear nose and mouth secretions, to prevent suffocation. 2, cooling treatment: the use of physical cooling methods, such as warm water bath, forehead paste antipyretic paste, etc., to help lower body temperature. If the physical cooling effect is not good, you can use antipyretic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. When the child convulsions last for a long time or frequent attacks, they should be sent to hospital immediately.
