Question
I had my first epileptic seizure at 4 am last October, and I am currently taking Lamotrigine, Bing Hong Mao, and Shen Yi. What should I do when a child has an epileptic seizure?
Answer
Hello, the first aid measures during an epileptic seizure include: For the care of a major epileptic seizure, the first step is to protect the tongue. Before the onset of the seizure, place a tongue depressor wrapped in gauze between the upper and lower molars of the patient to prevent biting. If it was not possible to insert it before the onset, place it during the tonic phase of the seizure. Do not force it into place during the clonic phase to avoid harming the patient.
