Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:I. After the patient's episode, it is important to have them lie face down. Do not place any pillows under the patient. Wrap a tongue depressor or a chopstick in soft cloth or a towel and place it between the upper and lower molars.
II. During a recurrence, do not force fluids or gently press on limbs.
III. Epileptic patients should avoid emotional excitement and overexertion in daily life. They should not climb high places, ride bicycles, or ice skate. It is also not advisable to train near machinery to prevent accidents during an episode.
IV. If the patient wears dentures, they should be removed before taking a nap in the afternoon. For severe epilepsy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
