How to manage febrile seizures in infantile roseola
Disease description:
It has been four months since my pregnancy ended. During a routine hospital check-up, the doctor told me that my child has experienced seizures. Because the child is very young and in a special developmental stage, medication is not recommended at this time. I would like to know how serious seizures are. How should seizures associated with infantile roseola be managed?

For febrile seizures associated with infantile roseola, promptly clear the airway and apply physical cooling measures. When an infant suddenly experiences convulsions, vomiting often occurs alongside, and large amounts of secretions may appear in the nasal passages. Seizures are typically caused by prolonged high fever. First, unbutton the infant's upper clothing to ensure minimal clothing coverage, then proceed with physical cooling. Alcohol can be applied to the infant's head and armpits. Additionally, wiping the child's entire body with a wet towel may help dissipate heat. At the same time, hospital admission for professional medical treatment is recommended.
