Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC) on June 27, 2017 at around 10:00 p.m.

II. CHIEF COMPLAINT

Convulsion

III. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS

The patient is apparently well until4 days prior to admission, 11:00 am, when he developed
a mild fever. Mother wasn’t able to get the specific temperature of the patient but described it
slightly hot upon touch. There was no colds, no headache and no cough. No consultation was done
nor medication given, only a sponge bath done by his mother. His fever worsened so his mother
gave him Paracetamol (Tempra) 80 mg/5ml, 5ml, single dose (AD 16 mkd) given at 5:00 p.m.
from which he was slightly relieved. This was not followed by additional doses.
Three days prior to admission, patient’s fever worsened again but no medication was given.
His mother only gave him a sponge bath and this persisted until the following day. Still, no colds
nor cough and no dyspnea.
On the day of admission, June 27,2017 2:00 p.m., patient’s fever persisted which caused
him to have a convulsion of 1 minute duration. Mother said his body was stiffening, eyes directed
upward, and patient became cyanotic. Excessive salivation follows every convulsion. No cough,
no colds, no abdominal pain and no vomiting. Still, no medical consultation was done and no
medication was given aside from mother’s usual sponge baths. At 5:00 p.m., the patient convulsed
again, now of about 2-minute duration so his mother gave him Paracetamol (Tempra) 80 mg/5ml,
5ml, single dose (AD 16 mkd)but did not give him any relief. His fever still persisted and
convulsion occurred again at 7:00 p.m. still of 2-minute duration but now, patient is dyspnic. No
medical intervention was done until another convulsion occurred at 10:00 p.m which prompted the
mother to seek for consultation, hence, admission.
