Febrile seizures

 

Febrile seizures are spasms brought about by fever. They occur in 2 to 5% of kids between the ages of a half year and 5 years of age. The more established your kid is the point at which they have their first febrile seizure, the more outlandish they are to have more. On the off chance that a relative (kin, parent, auntie or uncle, grandparent) has had febrile seizures, your youngster might be increasingly inclined to them.

 

By what means will I know whether my tyke is having a febrile seizure?

 

Regularly, the seizure is the main indication of your infant’s fever. It very well may be unnerving to see, however they aren’t as risky as they look.

 

· Your tyke will have a fever higher than 38⁰C (100.4⁰F).

 

· Their body will harden.

 

· Their eyes will move upward and their head and appendages (arms, legs) will be jerky.

 

· They may quickly lose awareness.

 

Most febrile seizures last between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and have no long haul impacts.

 

What would i be able to do?

 

· Stay quiet.

 

· Place your kid on a level surface, on their side. Try not to move them except if they are close something hazardous. Try not to stand their ground.

 

 

· Wipe away any regurgitation or salivation outside the mouth yet don’t put anything between their teeth.

 

· When the seizure stops, keep your kid on their side.

 

· Allow your kid to rest after the seizure and wake them up steadily.
