What are the symptoms of convulsions in children

Pediatric convulsions are a common emergency in infants and young children. The main symptoms include impaired consciousness, staring or tightly closed eyes, cyanosis of the lips, rigidity or convulsions of the limbs, and clenched teeth. If the discomfort symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Consciousness disturbance: The child may be confused, comatose or lose consciousness temporarily. Keep the child quiet, avoid stimulation, and use sedatives if necessary.

2. Both eyes are staring or tightly closed: The child may stare forward or tightly close his eyes. No special treatment is required, but care should be taken to keep the child's head to one side to prevent vomit or secretions from blocking the airway.

3. Cyanosis of lips and foam at mouth: The child's lips may appear bluish purple, and foamy secretions may come out of the mouth. Clear the secretions and vomitus in the mouth promptly to keep the airway open.

4. Limb stiffness or convulsions: The child's limbs may be stiff or convulsed. Avoid forcibly restraining the child's limbs to prevent fractures or muscle strains. When convulsions persist, anticonvulsant drugs such as diazepam and phenobarbital can be used for treatment.

5. Trismus: The child may have trismus, which is difficult to open. A dental pad needs to be placed between the upper and lower molars to prevent tongue bite.

Children's convulsions need to actively find the cause and treat it to avoid repeated attacks and adverse effects on the child. If the symptoms worsen and continue to worsen, seek medical attention in time.
