Doctor, save my baby, please
What symptoms does he have?
He has had a fever for one day. Just now at home, he had febrile convulsions with teeth and fists clenched and eyes turned up. We were at a loss what to do. We called an ambulance and brought the baby here.
How long did the convulsion last?
About 3 minutes.
Does he have any other complaints?
Three days ago, he began to cough, sneeze and have a running nose. Yesterday, he began to have a fever.
Have you taken his temperature?
It was 38 C this morning and it was 39 C just now.
Let me examine him to see if there is any rash. No rash.
Is it serious? Is it meningitis?
No, it is not meningitis. Just a high fever and convulsions, which results from a virus upper respiratory tract inflection.
Does he have to be admitted to hospital?
No. No need for admission. I'll give the baby analgia nose drops to bring down the temperature first. Then I will give you a prescription. The pink tablets are used for his fever. When his temperature is over 38  C, give him one tablet. The other tablets are sedatives for his convulsions. The white liquid is for the cold. Give the baby plenty of water to drink.
