Good morning everyone,how are we doing today,hope we all are good,hope we are enjoying the beautiful weather of the atmosphere. I'm happy to have you all here once again and i will like to share my little health tips for us to be properly guided.
Welcome to my daily blog for today and my topic today will be convulsion.
Convulsion is a type of seizure that affects the brain and it disturbs mainly children and older adults. Not that it does not affect other age bracket no but it affects children and older adults of 35 years and above the more. The main cause of it in older adults is stroke and other vascular conditions that affects mainly the brain.
Due to lack of knowledge of.many parents about convulsion it has killed many children landing to an increase in mortality rate of children.
Convulsion is never a death sentence it can be controlled but due to superstitious believe many parents have helped in making it more serious issue. For example you will see a child convulsing and people will be like rub oil on his feet and put it close to the fire ,or things like use needle and perce his finger or even putting some mixture to the person eyes,see it doesn't work that way rather when all these things are done it will increase the rat of the convulsion.
Convulsion is a hyperactivity of the brain cells causing the body to have seizure , So when those things are done it increases the seizure instead of calming it down. The simple remedy is cold water once you noticed your child is having seizure, remove his clothes and apply water to the body immediately it will help to calm the hyperactivity of the brain and medically if you have paracetamol you can give it to the child .
exposure to air and water application is the immediate remedy then take the child to any nearest healthcare close to you please don't wait till when you will reach that your hospital of choice, health centers can handle convulsion very perfectly so try and do the needful to avoid losing your child and blaming people and nurses with doctors that they could not do anything for your child to survive. Before the blame please do the necessary things and also avoid the necessary things.
Please stop giving them mixtures of concusion , or taking them close to the fire in the name of what the olden days people like our grandmothers did , it has lead to many lost of lives.
Why I am writing this is because i have seen several cases where a woman lost her child in the name of using the method of the old days mother's,when i tried telling them the reality they never believe it till the condition get worst.it really hot my feelings telling people what to do but they don't believe it rather they believe so much in that their own.
Thank you for stopping and reading my blog today i really appreciate it.
