Patient's question:
My sister suffers from epilepsy, and she has been having frequent relapses recently. During the episodes, she experiences symptoms such as stiffness in her limbs,, and foaming at the mouth. Whenever I see my sister having a relapse, I don't know what to do, but I really want to help her. Hello, how should bystanders address the recurrence of epilepsy symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a patient with epilepsy suddenly experiences a recurrence of their condition, it is important to pay close attention. Avoid moving the patient as much as possible. Check the patient's mouth for any foreign objects and try to remove them gently. Do not scare the patient excessively. You can gently press the GV26 (Ren Zhong) point. Usually, the patient will gradually recover within a few minutes. In the meantime, call 120 to arrange for transport to the hospital for sedation treatment.
