How should children with febrile convulsion do? It is the wish of parents that every child can grow up healthily and happily. But there will always be some diseases in the process of children's growth, which is inevitable. Let's share with you what to do with children's febrile convulsions.
What should I do with febrile convulsions in children 1 1. Why are children prone to febrile convulsions?
This is because when a child has a fever, the metabolism, oxygen consumption and blood flow of nerve cells will change, and the child's central nervous system will also be in an overexcited state. This kind of "excitement" will affect a child's immature brain tissue-"thalamus", which will produce a strong discharge and spread to other parts of the brain. At this time, we will see the child having a seizure.
Second, but why only a few percent of children have febrile convulsions:
This is mainly the result of many factors such as heredity, environment, development and infection. Febrile convulsion has obvious family genetic characteristics, which makes children prone to convulsions. This genetic feature leads to this convulsion under the special infection environment, physiological process and the imperfect development of children's nervous system.
In a course of disease, convulsions often occur only once.
Febrile convulsion is very harmful to babies. Convulsions lasting more than 10 minutes may cause nerve cell damage due to prolonged brain hypoxia. If it lasts for more than 30 minutes, half of them will leave different degrees of neurological dysfunction.
Third, daily health care (try to reduce the baby's illness)
The foundation is to think about the safety of children, hungry and cold. Grain porridge, yam porridge, take turns to eat.
Strengthen physical exercise and ensure three baths every day: air bath, sunshine bath and water bath.
Adjust one's mental state
Strengthen nutrition, reasonable diet, mix meat and vegetables, eat coarse and eat fine, and correct children's anorexia habits, thus enhancing their physique. Be careful not to pile up food. (If the tongue coating is white and thick, it has breath, constipation or diarrhea, and the palms are hot, it is food accumulation. )
Appropriate supplementation of probiotics such as Bifidobacterium and Synbiotics.
Avoid contact infection. Don't go to crowded public places, don't smoke indoors and keep the air circulating. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water
Dietotherapy can be used to enhance the function of spleen and stomach.
Such as: yam carrot porridge: slice yam and peel carrot, cook with white rice, and take it in the morning and evening; Lotus seed, jujube, coix seed, astragalus root, etc. Can also be supplemented according to the situation.
The basic methods of strengthening the spleen are diet therapy and reasonable feeding. The best dietotherapy is yam, rice and carrot porridge, and yam is the main one, which can strengthen the spleen, strengthen the intestine and invigorate qi, and it is harmless to eat often. In addition, it is born in the soil, which can also moisten the soil and be effective against acclimatization.
How to do children with febrile convulsion? 2. Treatment of fever in children.
1, primary disease treatment
Fever is a symptom of a disease, not an independent disease. Therefore, we should not only focus on children's fever, but also actively seek the cause of fever and treat the primary disease.
2, antipyretic treatment
Children with persistent high fever need appropriate cooling measures to avoid brain cell damage and possible adverse effects caused by excessive body temperature rise. It is necessary to take timely cooling measures, especially for children with a history of febrile convulsions and children with high fever and extreme irritability. Fever children need to be alert or deal with the following situations urgently: (1) febrile convulsion; The baby has a fever within 3 months; Fever lasts for more than 5 days; Fever >; 40℃ and acetaminophen or ibuprofen can not effectively cool down within 2 hours; Children's behavior changes obviously: for example, they don't like to play, have no appetite, rarely talk, are indifferent to things around them or suddenly appear special behaviors that have never been seen before; Less urine means dehydration. For example, babies wet diapers every day.
3, commonly used cooling measures are
(1) After physical cooling, take a bath with warm water, wrap ice cubes with impermeable plastic bags and dry towels on the head and neck, or apply armpits and groins. It is not recommended to use cold water or alcohol to wipe the bath.
(2) acetaminophen (>: children aged 3 months) or ibuprofen (> children aged 6 months) should be given orally or rectally, once every 4-6 hours. Children should use aspirin with caution (which may lead to Swiss syndrome), and generally do not advocate using hormone alone to reduce fever.
The newborn with fever should not use drugs to cool down, because the thermoregulation function of the newborn has not been fully developed.
(3) TCM cooling acupuncture, TCM oral administration, external application or enema and massage.
(4) Artificial hibernation therapy is a cooling method combining drugs (equal amount of chlorpromazine and promethazine) with physical cooling. Artificial hibernation has a strong protective and inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, which can make the body sleep, cool down, reduce metabolic rate and reduce oxygen consumption. It is mainly suitable for patients with persistent high fever or convulsion caused by toxic bacillary dysentery, viral encephalitis, purulent meningitis and other serious infections.
4, other symptomatic support treatment
(1) Provide a comfortable cooling environment, put children in a quiet, cool and well-ventilated place, wear cool and breathable clothes, and cover them with quilts to avoid sweating.
(2) Replenish water and electrolyte in time to keep the urine and urine unobstructed.
(3) Give children nutritious, light and digestible food.
Children's physical growth and development is relatively fast, and diseases should be adjusted in time. The above is an introduction to the treatment of children's fever. It is understood that when children have such symptoms, parents should not be too flustered, and they must master the cause of fever in order to prescribe the right medicine. In addition, once the baby's fever exceeds 38.5, go to the hospital in time.
