Patient's question:
I am a chef, and my family has a history of congenital epilepsy. I started having seizures at the age of eight, and now I am also mainly interested in understanding how to rescue someone during a seizure? What should I pay attention to on a daily basis? Many methods of control are beneficial for both myself and my family. I would be grateful if the doctor could provide guidance. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if epilepsy continues to recur without relief, the most important thing is to always maintain the patient's airway. During an epilepsy attack, the patient is usually prone to tongue swelling, which can lead to respiratory obstruction. We can tilt the patient's head to one side and promptly clear out any vomit from their mouth. If oxygen is available, the patient can be given oxygen. If the condition does not improve within ten minutes, promptly call for emergency medical assistance.
