Prevention of febrile convulsions Fever is one of the most common symptoms in children, mostly due to infections of the respiratory and urinary tracts. Usually a temperature of 38°C or less does not require treatment. A body temperature above 39°C can cause convulsions, mostly in children from four months to six years old. The first attack of parental fear does not know what to do, resulting in the child’s tongue bite, and some children vomit food reflux aspiration airway and even lung, resulting in a long-term cough lung infection. In some cases, this can lead to life-threatening asphyxia. Therefore, it is important to actively prevent febrile convulsions and handle them appropriately when they occur. There is a family history of febrile convulsions, and one parent has a history of febrile convulsions in early childhood. For children with a family history of fever, they should be actively cooled down, with a body temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and oral antipyretic drugs with fast antipyretic effect such as ibuprofen, naproxen or acetaminophen, and drink more water. Children with a history of convulsions should pay close attention to their body temperature, which can reach 37.5°C with oral ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and oral sedation. During a convulsion, the head should be tilted to the side to prevent vomit aspiration into the airway and to prevent tongue bite, padding in the mouth with a hard object and pinching. Most of the seizures are only a few seconds long and do not cause brain damage, so there is no need to stress or worry. However, recurrent seizures can be caused by a low threshold of hypothermia and should be prevented.
