Here’s the Picture of my son suffering from it..
Can you imagine of having a what we called seizures? Or do you have a family member having this kind of illness? Well I do have one. In fact he’s none other than but my eldest son. He was still one and a half years old when it began attacking him. It is always associated with a very high fever usually with the temperature rising rapidly to 102° Fahrenheit (38.9° Celsius) or more. Convulsion or seizures as what I had known is a sudden lack of oxygen of the brain that’s why when you see a person or a child who suffered like this, you can see that their muscles are uncontrollable. Their lips are blue and it seems that they may die. Oh God! How can I forget every time my son suffered like this? I must admit I lost sleep every time he had fever. It really frightens me a lot. All I did is to give him a sponge bath so that his body will be cold for at least a single moment. But when me and my husband brought him to the hospital, the doctor give us an anti-convulsant. Every day I gave him the said drugs but to my surprise, well the doctor warns me already, but he’s been really hyperactive. His pediatrician did tell us that there is only one side effect of the said drug, and it is his uncontrollable actions. Up to now his been taking it and right now he is turning 4. Well at least I am no longer worried but eventually not yet happy because I still have 3 years left to stop the drugs. Why? It’s because when your child got seizures due to high fever it takes normally 7 years to eliminate it… How sad….
