Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes convulsions in children

Convulsions caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children may be due to fever, electrolyte imbalances, meningitis, and cerebral vasospasm. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, and carry out targeted treatment after completing relevant examinations.

1. Fever: Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection can cause fever, and when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 °C, it may cause abnormal discharge in the cerebral cortex, resulting in convulsions. At this time, drugs such as ibuprofen suspension can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

2. Electrolyte disorder: If the child has a serious Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, it may lead to a large loss of water in the body, which may cause hyponatremia or hypokalemia, and may also cause increased neuromuscular excitability, resulting in convulsions.At this time, you can use sodium chloride injection, potassium chloride injection and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's instructions;

3. Meningitis: After Mycoplasma pneumoniae invades the human body, it may produce an inflammatory reaction and release toxins, thereby causing damage to the brain and causing meningitis. Stimulation by inflammation causes damage to brain cells, which causes symptoms of convulsions. At this time, drugs such as acyclovir tablets and ganciclovir dispersible tablets can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

4. Cerebrovascular spasm: Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection will lead to vasoconstriction dysfunction, which will cause cerebral vasospasm, and symptoms such as confusion and coma will occur during the onset of the disease, and will also lead to body stiffness and convulsions.At this time, drugs such as nimodipine tablets and flunarizine hydrochloride capsules can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, we should pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
