Objective  To explore the effect of early sedative in prevention of febrile convulsion epilepsy in children.

  Methods  A total of 146children with febrile convulsion epilepsy who were treated in our hospital were selected as the researchobjects. According to the random number table method, they were randomly divided into control group and research group, with 73 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine treatment such as symptomatic cooling, while the study group was treated with sedatives at the early stage. After 6 months, the clinical symptoms and preventive effects of the two groups were compared.

  Results  After treatment, the incidences of epilepsy, brain injury and mental retardation in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the cure rate in the study group was significantly higher, and recurrence rate was significantly lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Sedatives are effective in the treatment of early febrile convulsions and epilepsy in children. It can alleviate the symptoms, effectively prevent the seizures caused by febrile convulsions and other complications, and reduce the recurrence rate.
