Patient's question:
The child was very young when epilepsy was discovered. What should be done if the baby has epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
1. Remove hard objects near the child, assist the child to lie on their side to facilitate the flow of saliva and maintain the child's airway.2. If the child's mouth is open during a seizure, parents should quickly place a tongue depressor wrapped in gauze or a chopstick between the upper and lower teeth on one side of the child's mouth to prevent them from biting their tongue.
3. After the child's convulsions stop, it may take several minutes, several tens of minutes, or even hours to return to normal.
