Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite; there are no other significant abnormalities. However, she sometimes shakes. What should parents do when a child has an epileptic seizure?
Answer
Hello, when the child is having a seizure, it is crucial to ensure that someone is present to supervise and prevent the child from being in a dangerous environment. Always ensure the room is safe, with bumpers installed on the corners of furniture and some foam laid on the floor. During a seizure, place some clothing in the mouth to prevent tongue bites. Medications should also be used to control the recurrence of seizures.
