What should be done about status epilepticus?

Patient's question:

My friend has epilepsy, and she feels like she has completely changed into a different person. Sometimes she still has relapses, with her mouth twisted and foam coming out of her mouth. Once, she had a prolonged seizure and didn't fully recover for a long time, in a continuous state, which was truly terrifying.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The recurrence of status epilepticus can cause unexpected harm to patients. Therefore, when a patient experiences a recurrence of status epilepticus, appropriate methods must be used to promptly manage the situation and help them completely escape the dangerous state.

If you notice a patient suddenly having a seizure, quickly place a soft cloth between their teeth or stuff a piece of their clothing into their mouth to prevent tongue injury while biting, but avoid obstructing the airway. At this time, lay the patient flat on a bed or the ground nearby, gently supporting their head with slight pressure to prevent neck swelling, and hold their lower jaw firmly to counteract excessive jaw opening.
