Thanks for contacting with your health concern and since unable to deduce the age from the history provided, I'm of the following opinion:
1. since having fever and
seizure month ago, it could possibly be a febrile convulsion, thus consultation and supervision of Pediatric Doctor/
Neurologist is essential, I at most can let you know about the symptomwise approach:
i. Consult a doctor specialized in Pediatric Neurology as it may require pediatric intensive care unit [PICU] services and respiratory therapists since if left untreated it can cause damage to the brain.
PS. also for proper neurological examination and investigation since he has to be put on regular antiepileptic treatment.
ii. From 6 months to 5 years the commonest cause of convulsions is
febrile convulsions. If
high fever accompanies the convulsions, then the diagnosis is certain.
2. In future, avoid high fever by giving syrup
crocin and
cold compress, at the onset of fever and because he is autistic thus remember:
- do not miss the treatment even for one day.
- you should avoid places where convulsions for the child can be dangerous: swimming, driving, climbing heights, work near moving machinery, standing in train or bus doors, work near the fire.
- drugs to be continued for at least 5 years after the last fit, & then slowly tapered off over 6 months.
PS. If treatment is stopped suddenly, rebound may occur and the patient may even go into
status epilepticus, so remember the importance of taking treatment regularly.
