Sir, My child (age 1 year) is suffering from fever. Body is cool, only head is hot. Temp is going up to 102. Yesterday he became unconscious (like an attack). What is reason ? what precautions to be taken?

Hi. Unconscious during fever could be due to febrile seizure. But sometimes it may be due to brain infection also. Kindly see a nearby Pediatrician soon for complete assessment and treatment. Pls read the articles on fever I wrote for further information about fever. "My Child Has Fever!
