Can Sudden Drop In Body Temperature Cause Seizures In Children?
Can a sudden drop in body temp also cause a seizure in children? For instance, say a child has a fever of 102 and he has been under the covers sweating. If he immediately gets out in to the air conditioning, and has a drop in body temp, could that cause a seizure?
