What reason is child convulsion

summary

The child usually has no disease in life, but a few days ago suddenly appeared convulsion phenomenon, which makes me very worried. So asked the relevant doctors to understand the cause of the child convulsions. Now I'm going to popularize science for you. What's the reason for children's convulsions.

What reason is child convulsion

First: high fever. Febrile convulsions accounted for the highest proportion. High fever is one of the most common causes of convulsions in children. The pathological process of febrile spasm is as follows: because the brain nerve of infants is easy to "discharge" uncontrollably, it is far less stable than that of adults. The sudden rise of body temperature causes abnormal discharge of brain cells, resulting in sudden unconsciousness, limb rigidity and twitching, mouth foaming, eye hanging, and blue lips.

Second: epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually characterized by repeated seizures of convulsions and transient disturbance of consciousness and sensation. It is mainly caused by the dysgenesis of the nervous system in children and excessive abnormal discharge of the cerebral cortex. When convulsions occur in children due to epilepsy, the vast majority of children will be unconscious, eyes closed or half open, eyes turned up, teeth closed, corners of the mouth twitch, head tilted back, limbs repeatedly flexion and extension, lips blue, body stiff, lasting more than ten seconds to a few minutes.

Third: tetanus. Tetanus is caused by specific infection after trauma. Neonatal tetanus is often caused by the umbilical cord disinfection is not strict. The typical symptom of tetanus is paroxysmal strong spasm on the basis of muscle tension contraction (muscle rigidity and stiffness). Usually, the first muscle group affected is masticatory muscle, followed by facial expression muscle, neck, back, abdomen and limbs muscle, and finally diaphragm. The above attacks can be induced by mild stimulation, such as light, sound, contact, drinking water, etc.

matters needing attention

If children have this phenomenon, they still need to pay attention to it. It's not a simple convulsion. It may indicate the arrival of a certain disease. The child's immunity is very weak, so we must pay attention to some daily performance.
