Patient's question:
My little child doesn't know what's wrong, often when playing with him, he will stare blankly, and then while walking, he will suddenly fall down. After falling, his hands and feet will twitch. I want to understand which behaviors are unreliable during a child's epilepsy recurrence? What kind of help is needed: which behaviors are unreliable during a child's epilepsy recurrence?Doctor's answer:
It is speculated that the onset of epilepsy is due to abnormal pulses of neurons in my brain. Many symptoms during an episode are uncontrollable, such as twitching, foaming at the mouth, and rolling eyes—these are all normal recurrence symptoms. If you have epilepsy, timely treatment is essential; do not delay. When a recurrence occurs, quickly have the person lie face down, without using a pillow. Place a tongue depressor or a stick wrapped in soft cloth or a towel between the upper and lower molars (back teeth) (note: do not obstruct the mouth) to prevent the person from biting their tongue. Then, loosen the collar and turn the person's head to one side to allow saliva to drain out naturally, preventing it from entering the airway and causing aspiration pneumonia.
