What to do if you have a fever and convulsions? Methods to relieve high fever and convulsions

Due to seasonal changes or sudden cool weather, some people with weaker constitutions may develop a fever. Fever is a common symptom, and fever is accompanied by some complications, such as headache and dizziness. These are relatively minor problems, but if convulsions occur, you still need to be careful.

1: Lying on the side or with the head tilted to one side: Immediately place the patient on his side, with the head tilted back slightly and the lower jaw slightly protruding forward, without a pillow. Or remove the pillow and let the patient lie flat with the head tilted to one side. In this position, the root of the tongue will not block the airway, and vomiting will not cause suffocation. Do not force-feed the patient with medicine during a convulsion attack, otherwise there is a risk of aspiration pneumonia.

2: Keep the airway open: Unbutton the collar, wrap the tongue depressor or chopsticks with soft cloth or handkerchief and place them between the upper and lower molars to prevent biting the tongue. At the same time, use hand silk or gauze to promptly clean the patient's mouth and nose secretions to keep the airway open.

3: Control convulsions: Use your fingers to pinch and press the patient's Ren Zhong, Hegu, Neiguan and other acupoints for two to three minutes, and keep the surrounding environment quiet, move the patient as little as possible, and reduce unnecessary stimulation.

4: Lower body temperature: Place cold towels on the patient's forehead, palms, and thighs, and change them frequently; keep the towel temperature not too high, or put cold or ice water in a hot water bag, wrap it with a towel, and place it on the patient's head, neck, and thighs. Rub with 50% alcohol to make the skin red where the great veins run, such as the neck, underarms on both sides, elbows, groins, and groins, which is conducive to heat dissipation.

5: Drink plenty of water to help sweat and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water loss in the body.

6: Apply warm water, untie your clothes, and rub your whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.
