Suggest Cause And Remedy For Convulsions
My friend has just been on an African safari trip. I went to visit her when she got home and she looked flustered. When I asked she said she had a slight headache and warm forehead. She has many red mosquito bites over her arms and shortly after she collapsed on the floor and started to convulse.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It could be a febrile seizure, after a visiting a different place with different weather.
2.In this case you have to treat the cause, like fever and gastrointestinal problems.
3.If it is some thing to do with the mosquito bite then immediate action needed, visit ER and find out the mosquito and get an antidote injection given - before other complications starts.
4.If she is not used to the hot weather, get back as soon as possible.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
Africa is a such place that all kinds of deadly disease are there and malaria is the main parasitic disease, if she has convulsion then this could be viral infection or malaria, even the clinical manifestation also very atypical and confusing, but the early and right treatment this would come around, Thank.
