How to handle a seizure in a child with epilepsy?

  When the child is found to have an aura of seizure, quickly let the child lie flat on the bed or lie down on a flat place nearby. When you find that the child is about to fall, you should quickly hold the patient and let him/her fall down in order to prevent a sudden fall and injury to the head and body.  Remove anything hard or dangerous from the body, put a soft object under the head, untie the collar, cuffs, belt and keep the airway open. There is no need to call or desperately press the child in an attempt to keep him from twitching, because at this point, no matter how hard you use, it will not help and will not shorten the duration of his convulsions.  The actual fact that there are more respiratory secretions during grand mal seizures, which can easily cause respiratory obstruction or aspiration pneumonia, since the beginning of grand mal seizures, the child’s head and body should be turned to the side so that the secretions flow naturally. If the child’s teeth are already closed, do not try to pry them open or stick your fingers in to prevent injury to the rescuer.  When the seizure ends, the child should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.
