Question
What should parents do when their child has a seizure?
Answer
When a child has a seizure, parents should quickly help the child lie on their back without a pillow, place a tongue depressor under the tongue to prevent biting the tongue, tilt the head to one side to prevent secretions from entering the airway, and lift the jaw to prevent choking. Do not force water or press on the limbs during the seizure; instead, stimulate acupuncture points such as Hiccup and Elbow. Avoid overwork, stress, and maintain a balanced diet to prevent colds.
