Question
What Are the Principles of Emergency Treatment for Pediatric Epilepsy?
Answer
During an epilepsy seizure, protective measures should be taken first to prevent accidents rather than administering medication immediately. This includes preventing trauma, falls, and collisions. The patient should be quickly made to lie down on the ground. A thick cloth-covered tongue depressor or chopsticks should be placed between the upper and lower jaws to prevent biting the tongue and the throat. Do not gently press on the twitching limbs to avoid causing fractures. Wishing the patient a swift recovery to good health!
