Convulsions

Japanese: ひきつけ

A slang term for convulsions. Usually refers to paroxysmal convulsions in children. Children are more susceptible to convulsions than adults, and they can occur when they have a fever from a cold or tonsillitis, or when they are extremely excited. They will go away if the child is kept quiet. However, they can also be a symptom of serious illnesses such as epilepsy or encephalitis, so a doctor's diagnosis is necessary. Particular attention should be paid to recurring or prolonged seizures, or when they are accompanied by a high fever or confusion.

Japanese:

痙攣(けいれん)の俗称。普通は子どもの発作性痙攣をさす。子どもは成人に比べ痙攣を起こしやすく，風邪や扁桃炎などの発熱，激しい興奮の際に起こることがある。安静にしておけばなおる。しかし，癲癇(てんかん)や脳炎など重い病気の症候のこともあり，医師の診断が必要。特に発作が繰り返されたり，長びいたり，高熱や意識混濁を伴うときは注意を要する。
