How to Protect Children with Epilepsy?

Question

My child’s epilepsy symptoms have recurred due to meningitis caused by a fever, and they frequently have convulsions. They are currently undergoing medication treatment. I want to know how to protect a child with epilepsy.

Answer

When an epilepsy seizure occurs suddenly, quickly place the patient on their back, protect their head and limbs, and rapidly loosen the collar and belt to maintain an open airway. Place the patient in a lateral position, extending the neck, with the chin forward, to prevent the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway. Avoid jaw dislocation, tongue bite injuries, falls, and fractures. For children experiencing psychomotor seizures, prevent self-harm or harm to others, and ensure they do not wander off.
