What should be done when a child has a seizure?

Patient's question:

What should parents do when their child has a seizure? How should it be handled?

Doctor's answer:

1. Stay with the patient at all times and wait until the seizure stops.
2. Quickly support the child to prevent falling and then place them on a flat or safe surface.
3. Unfasten the collar and cuffs to ensure an unobstructed airway. Turn the head and body to one side to prevent saliva, mucus, or other fluids from entering the airway.
4. How to handle a one-year-old's seizure? Carefully observe which parts are twitching during the seizure, whether consciousness or awareness is present, and record the duration to describe to the doctor.
5. If the seizure lasts for 10 minutes without relief or if multiple seizures occur within 10 minutes, call for emergency help or take the patient to the hospital immediately.
