Children who have seizures shortly after going to sleep with the corners of their mouths convulsing should take protective measures to avoid tongue biting, choking or falling out of bed, and should seek medical attention promptly.
1. The first thing is to lay the patient’s head and body sideways to ensure that the patient’s airway is open, tilt his head to the side, to avoid vomit accidentally into the trachea caused by asphyxiation. Any secretions or other debris should be cleaned up immediately. Do not use a tongue depressor or soft gauze pad in the patient’s mouth.
3. The patient is unconscious during the seizure, so make sure the patient is away from dangerous objects such as knives and electrical appliances.
4. A detailed record should be made of the duration of the seizure and the circumstances of the seizure, so as to facilitate the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment in the future.
5. If the duration of the seizure exceeds that of previous seizures or if the symptoms of the seizure are more severe, the patient should go to the hospital for treatment.
When epilepsy occurs in children, they should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and after diagnosis, standardized anti-epileptic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of specialists.
