Patient's question:
My little child doesn't know how to get seizures and convulsions, my doctor said I need to learn first aid skills, but I have never read books, I started to feel very stressful, now I really want to learn so that my family won't worry so much.Doctor's answer:
Hello:1. When a cramp occurs, it is essential to stay calm and avoid shaking the child or vigorously rubbing their hands and feet. Do not shout at them either.
2. Tilt the child's head back and turn it to one side. Apply a cold towel to their head or place an ice pack on it. Loosen their collar and use a damp towel to wipe their neck, armpits, and other areas to help lower their body temperature.
3. Wrap a clean gauze pad around a pair of chopsticks and place them between the child's upper and lower teeth to keep the airway open. This prevents tongue-biting and avoids the backflow of saliva or vomit into the trachea, thereby preventing choking or aspiration pneumonia.
