Complex febrile convulsion? Let's talk about it

Complex febrile convulsion?

Typical febrile convulsion is also called simple febrile convulsion, while atypical febrile convulsion is also called complex febrile convulsion. All children with febrile convulsion can be considered as complex febrile convulsion if they do not have the characteristics of simple febrile convulsion, such as age of onset, degree of fever, seizure time and seizure form.

The age of onset of complex febrile convulsion is usually less than 6 months or more than 6 years old. The duration of generalized convulsion is more than 15 minutes. Convulsion can also occur when fever is low. The seizure form can be partial or systemic. In the same disease process (or within 24 hours), convulsion occurs more than once. After convulsion, there may be abnormal neurological signs such as temporary paralysis syndrome.

The prognosis is worse than that of simple febrile convulsion, especially in children with family history of epilepsy or with brain organic lesions before the first febrile convulsion.

matters needing attention

Once the baby has febrile convulsion, parents should rescue on the spot. Don't hold the child in your arms, and don't shake it, because the vibration will aggravate the symptoms. Put the child on the bed quickly, lie down, untie the button, collar and trouser belt, and put the chopsticks and toothbrush handle wrapped with handkerchief, cotton or gauze between the upper and lower teeth of the child to prevent biting the tongue.
