Question
How should I deal with an emergency during an epileptic seizure? My child suddenly had another seizure today, accompanied by vomiting and whole-body convulsions. He also often says he has a headache, does this mean the epilepsy is acting up again? How should I seek help?
Answer
Epilepsy is a disease that requires long-term medication treatment, and frequent recurrence may affect a child’s brain development. During an epileptic seizure, it’s important to quickly lay the child down, protect the tongue, and use chopsticks or a cloth-tied item placed between the child’s teeth to prevent biting the tongue; at the same time, support the child’s neck to keep the head stable and loosen the collar to keep the airway open. These are suggestions for dealing with the question ‘How to emergency handle epileptic seizures?’ and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
