Does High Fever Cause Deliriousness?
Good day. I Just want to ask. Last night my son has a high fever around 39.4 degrees then suddenly out of nowhere while he was sleeping he started to laugh around 10-20 sec and his eyes is open. I shout his name many times but he is not responding, he is just laughing and laughing. And after a few seconds he regains his consciousness and he’s not aware that he is laughing. What would be the cost of this event?

Thanks for the query.
Yes it is possible that, it may delirium.
High fever may have some effect in brain function.
Next time if you are in such a situation try tepid sponging, rwmove cloths of the child, give brufen for fever.
Hope i helped you.
