What should be done if a 10-month-old child is suspected of having epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Onset time: April 2013, Main symptoms: Seizures, limbs twitching, eyes tightly closed (onset on April 19 once, April 20 twice, April 21 twice), Hospital visited: Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main first aid measures during a seizure are as follows: For the care of grand mal seizures, the first step is to protect the tongue. Before the seizure begins, place a tongue depressor wrapped in gauze between the patient's upper and lower molars to prevent tongue bite. If it is not placed before the onset, insert it during the tonic phase when the patient's mouth is open. Do not force it during the clonic phase to avoid injuring the patient.
