Patient's question:
There is a classmate in our class, and we live in a dormitory together. We never noticed anything unusual about her. One day, when it was almost time for her to take a nap, she suddenly fell to the ground, twitching all over, rolling her eyes back, and foaming at the mouth. We were scared out of our wits. But at the time, we didn't know what to do. It is said that this is epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
During a seizure, people with epilepsy should not panic. Stay calm and follow these steps:1. Do not interfere with the seizure. Immediately help the person lie down.
2. Do not attempt to put anything in their mouth.
3. Use soft padding to protect their head.
4. Once the seizure has ended, gently place the person in a comfortable recovery position to stabilize their breathing.
5. The rescuer should wait until the person has fully recovered before leaving. Only call for medical help immediately if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes and does not stop.
Epilepsy is a condition that is difficult to cure. Friends with epilepsy should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only by doing so can they build confidence in fighting epilepsy and believe that recovery is possible.
