What to do if your child has a convulsion in bed

  Convulsions, also known as convulsions, are common emergencies in pediatrics due to temporary disorders of brain function caused by excessive neuronal discharge in the brain, manifested as generalized or localized muscle twitches accompanied by impaired consciousness. If a child has convulsions at bedtime, the first thing to do is to find out what causes the convulsions.  For small infants with nighttime convulsions, we should pay attention to hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, and kernicterus in children with jaundice. Once these manifestations are suspected they need to be treated by a doctor and hospitalized as soon as possible. If the child has a sudden fever at night causing convulsions, then consider febrile convulsions, first give the child heat treatment to keep the airway open, and then promptly seek medical attention. If the child sleeps convulsions, no fever, that is, no febrile convulsions, while repeated seizures, then first we must exclude the child is not epilepsy, need to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible to do EEG, cranial CT and other clear diagnosis, once diagnosed need long-term oral anti-epileptic drugs. The first thing that parents should do is to keep the child’s airway open to prevent asphyxia and aspiration pneumonia by sucking away the secretions from the pharynx in a timely manner. 120, carry out out-of-hospital emergency.  The first thing we need to do is to control the convulsions by symptomatic treatment, but because it is difficult to control the convulsions at home, after doing the above simple treatment, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
