How to Handle Infant High Fever with Convulsions?

Mothers with children all know that taking care of babies is very stressful, especially when the baby has a high fever that won't go down, and they are even more worried about the occurrence of convulsions. Once a baby has a high fever and convulsions, in addition to promptly sending them to the hospital for treatment, mastering some correct nursing methods can also reduce the occurrence of accidental situations. So, do mothers know what to do when a baby has a high fever and convulsions? First, parents can try to hold the baby in a safe or relatively spacious place to avoid them falling to the ground and suffering injuries or other dangerous situations due to high fever and convulsions. Then, as quickly as possible, put the baby in a lateral position. The reason for doing this is to allow the baby's symptoms to be alleviated in the shortest time possible. Another thing that parents need to pay attention to is to remove any hard or sharp objects near the baby to avoid them accidentally hurting the baby due to convulsions. If the baby is wearing tight or excessive clothing, it is also necessary to loosen the clothing, which is also beneficial for reducing the baby's body temperature. Babies usually only experience convulsions when they have a high fever, so it is also necessary to promptly reduce the baby's temperature, whether through medication or physical cooling methods, which are both urgent and effective methods of reducing fever.
