Question
What should you do in an emergency when a child suddenly has an epileptic seizure while playing in the park?
Answer
- Quickly support the child to prevent them from falling and place them on a safe surface.
- Loosen the child’s collar and sleeves to keep the airways clear, and turn their head and body to one side to allow any secretions to drain.
- Stay with the child during the seizure until the symptoms stop.
- Observe the area of the seizure and note if the child is conscious and aware, as well as record the duration of the seizure.
- After the seizure stops, perform necessary cleaning and comforting to help the child relax emotionally.
