Anger: The child had fever and convulsions, and the family believed the rumor and poured boiling water down his throat!

Taotao recently saw a scary piece of news about febrile convulsions. How should we deal with them correctly? I specially invited my good friend @白衣婆. Quickly move the bench and read it carefully~ Don’t forget to share it with your friends after reading it. ~ (The data shared will be the basis for me to choose this topic next time~) We have heard a lot of \”rumors\”. For example, you can apply a layer of soy sauce on burns caused by boiling water. For example, incense ash can treat enteritis. For example, in Sprinkling salt on the wound can promote wound healing… With the advancement of the times and the development of information dissemination methods, many people have received correct knowledge and will not misunderstand rumors. However, just during the Spring Festival of 2018, we saw a shocking and angry piece of news: According to a report from Weibo Medical V@Emergency Nighthawk: “On New Year’s Eve, a 2-year-old child had fever and convulsions, and his family members In order to wake her up, he actually poured half a cup of boiling water into her mouth. As you can imagine, the child\’s mouth was completely burned and her lips were as swollen as a donkey. The key was that the larynx was swollen and it was difficult to breathe. She suffered from respiratory failure and weak heartbeat… …\”There was a big rescue during the Chinese New Year! Picture source: weibo @木HM德_Director_Rinpoche has febrile convulsions, febrile convulsions! For such a disease that has been talked about over and over again on the Internet, the scientific treatment method for it has been said badly, but there are still people who cannot learn it. Some people would rather listen to some rumors told by \”three aunts and six women\” than believe in science. It\’s just a matter of error handling. How could he be so wrong as to scald his throat with boiling water? ? ? What kind of intelligence would choose this method? Is this a biological child? ? When we condemn, we may also be thinking that this child may really come from a very remote area, and the parents really don’t even have a mobile phone with WeChat. They have never followed any reliable scientific parenting public accounts, and have never seen any reliable ones. Scientific knowledge, then more popular science propaganda from official or public welfare organizations will be even more important! Dear friends, let us scroll down to understand how to deal with this disease appropriately. Let us use our fingers to share reliable knowledge with more people in need. Knowledge tip 1: What is this disease? Febrile convulsions, in pediatric outpatient clinics, are the most common convulsions in children. They mostly occur in babies aged 6 months to 5 years old and occur during a fever course (rectal temperature ≥38.5°C, axillary temperature ≥38°C). of convulsive attacks. (Don’t think it has nothing to do with you, you need to learn~) Simple convulsions: 70-80%, frequent from 6 months to 5 years old, generalized seizures, lasting <15 minutes, only one seizure in a heat course, no abnormal nerves Systemic signs; complex convulsions: 20-30%, 5 years old, or neurological abnormalities, seizure duration >15 minutes, or ≥2 seizures in one heat course. Knowledge Tip 2: What should you do if you encounter this disease? According to most data, most febrile seizures in children are transient, lasting 1-3 minutes. What needs to be done is: 1. Pay attention to keeping the respiratory tract open (that is, allowing the child to breathe smoothly!); 2. Prevent the child from falling or being injured (you can put the child in aon a clean floor, bed or other platform); 3. Avoid irritating the child (there is no need to go over and yell, and there is no need to wake him up!!); 4. Do not pinch the child, do not pry open the teeth, do not press or shake Children, do not put spoons or chopsticks into the child\’s mouth to avoid further injury; 5. Pay attention to clean the oral and nasal secretions, lie on your side or turn your head to one side to avoid suffocation, and monitor vital signs. You can dial 120 at the same time or prepare to go to the hospital. Do you understand? Why do you need to pour boiling water down your throat? ? ? ? Boiling water can burn people to death! ! ! Even if the burn doesn\’t kill you, the baby will be in pain! ! ! Infection may occur! ! It will leave scars! ! There will be life danger! ! ! If a convulsive attack lasts for more than 5 minutes, medication should be considered to stop the convulsions. Therefore, when a convulsive attack occurs, preparations can be made for going to the hospital at the same time. When you get to the hospital, the doctor may give you sedatives. This is correct! ! (Including diazepam, midazolam, chloral hydrate, etc., midazolam is preferred, but it depends on whether each hospital has the drug.) (If the convulsion occurs outside the hospital, it is estimated that It will take more than 5 minutes for most people to arrive at the hospital. If the convulsions have stopped at this time, temporary observation, symptomatic support, and vital signs monitoring can be provided. If there is a history of multiple convulsions in the past, preventive medication can be considered; The principles for handling convulsions are the same as above.) Knowledge Tip 3: Do I need to take preventive sedatives next time I have a fever? Some parents may ask, my baby has a history of febrile convulsions and is really scared. What should I do if he has a fever next time due to a cold or other circumstances? Should I take some sedatives first to prevent convulsions? In fact, if you only have one or two attacks, there is no need for preventive medication at all. In the following situations, you may consider taking preventive sedatives when you have a fever (a specialist is required to evaluate the condition and confirm that sedatives can be used, and then use them strictly according to the doctor\’s instructions): 1. Frequent convulsions in a short period of time (≥ within 6 months) 3 times or ≥ 4 times within 1 year); 2. Status convulsant occurs and requires anticonvulsant drug treatment to terminate the attack. Prevention method: Take diazepam 0.3 mg/kg orally every 8 hours, ≤3 times at the beginning of fever, which can effectively prevent convulsive attacks. I hope more parents can see similar reliable articles and stop listening to rumors and push their children into the fire pit. In 2018, I wish all the babies in the world to be healthier and grow up happily in the new year~
