What is the manifestation of febrile convulsions

  Patients with febrile convulsions experience transient loss of consciousness and twitching and rigidity of the limbs. Febrile convulsions are usually caused by high fever. Therefore, when a patient has a febrile convulsion, the whole body will be hot.  Febrile convulsions are commonly seen in children with infectious diseases, such as pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, and high fever caused by influenza, which tend to cause cortical dysfunction, abnormal discharge, and convulsions in children. In addition to convulsions, patients may experience transient loss of consciousness, stiff limbs, rolling eyes, and a hot body. Some patients may accidentally bite their tongues or lips and then develop bleeding from the mouth and lips. Severe convulsions can lead to brain cell damage and affect the intellectual development of children. Therefore, in case of fever and convulsions, one should go to the hospital promptly and have the fever reduced promptly under the guidance of a clinician. If a patient has recurrent high fever that does not subside, convulsions, and depression, be alert to neurological lesions. Some patients with epilepsy, too, may develop febrile convulsions, but there is usually a family history of them.  If a child develops febrile convulsions, it is important to pay sufficient attention to the situation. Before admission, attention needs to be paid to flattening the child and holding the lateral recumbent position to avoid blocking the airway with respiratory secretions. You can choose to give anal antipyretics or give intravenous antipyretics at the nearest hospital.
