Children who have seizures for 20 seconds once every 30 minutes should first be prevented from biting their tongues, and then their airways should be cleared to avoid choking from secretions.
When a child has a seizure, the child should be laid flat on a hard board or floor. It is best to notice the child’s discomfort before the seizure occurs and not let the child fall to the ground suddenly to avoid broken bones and falls. Close attention should be paid to not letting the patient bite his or her tongue during the seizure. The patient is unconscious at the onset of the seizure and will need the rest of the group to help them avoid biting themselves.
In addition, we should also pay attention to tilt the patient’s head to the side, undressing, and clearing the oral secretion when there is a lot of secretion, so as not to choke on the secretion into the airway and cause choking and other serious consequences.
If the duration of the seizure is longer than 30 minutes or more, the patient should be sent to the hospital in time for treatment with drugs such as sodium valproate and levetiracetam as prescribed by the doctor.
