Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I m planning a trip to the south of France this summer with my nine month old daughter. My mom has me freaked out that it s going to be too hot for her because the place we re staying doesn t have air conditioning. We ll have fans going and open windows. Plus of course I ll keep her hydrated. Should I be concerned? I m also looking for information on heat seizures. If she has one, what do I do? What would be the consequences for her?
if you are going to keep her hydrated and make a balance between the heat exposure and the type of clothes she will wear , then you don't have to worry about anything . heat seizures or in medical terms febrile convulsions are not caused by excessive heat exposure, they are triggered by fever because of an infection or inflammation in a genetically predisposed children . so , there is a family history of febrile convulsions and you worry that your child is going to have one once she got fever then all you have to do when it happen is not to panic , keep her on her left side , don't put anything in her mouth and seek medical help . usually prophylactic antipyretics are useless , many pediatricians prescribe rectal Diazepam in recurrent febrile convulsions , and non of these you should worry about . I hope this helps
