The child has pneumonia and convulsions
Pneumonia in children may be due to high fever, electrolyte imbalances, meningitis,epilepsyseizures and other causes. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for treatment in time, improve relevant examinations, and carry out targeted treatment after clarifying the specific cause.
1. High fever: If the child's pneumonia is more serious, it may cause high fever, and when the body temperature reaches more than 39 °C, it will cause abnormal discharge of cerebral nerves, which will lead to convulsions of the child's pneumonia. At this time, it is necessary to use drugs such as ibuprofen suspension to cool down according to the doctor's instructions, and drink more warm water;
2. Electrolyte disorder: If the child's pneumonia is more serious and has not been effectively treated for a long time, it will lead to the disorder of electrolyte levels in the body, which will affect the normal function of the brain and also cause the child's pneumonia to have convulsive symptoms.
It needs to be treated with intravenous fluids under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner, and appropriate hydration is also required;
3. Meningitis: If the child has pneumonia combined with meningitis, it may lead to increased intracranial pressure, which may cause symptoms such as intracranial hypertensive headache and projectile vomiting, and may also be accompanied by drowsiness and coma. When intracranial pressure continues to rise, it will cause ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue, resulting in convulsions of pneumonia in children. Drugs such as mannitol injection can be used to reduce intracranial pressure as prescribed, and antiviral drugs such as acyclovir tablets can also be used for treatment;
4、epilepsySeizures: If the child has itepilepsyWhen exposed to external stimuli, seizures may be induced, such as fever and infection, which may cause symptoms such as muscle spasms and loss of consciousness. This can occur when a child has pneumonia and seizures. It can be treated with medications such as carbamazepine tablets or phenytoin tablets as prescribed by a doctor.
