Patient's question:
I am living with my in-laws. One day, my husband and mother-in-law went inside, and there was only me and my father-in-law left at home. I was watching TV in the room when suddenly I heard a chair fall over in the living room. I ran out to see, and found my father-in-law lying on the ground, twitching all over, foaming at the mouth. At that time, I didn't know what was happening, so I quickly called my mother-in-law. She rushed over and said that my father-in-law was having a seizure.Doctor's answer:
Hello. When rescuing a person with epilepsy, do not gently press on them with force, and do not move them quickly, unless the person is in danger. Do not put anything into their mouth, do not pour cold water on them, do not press the "renzhong" (GV26) point, and do not use acupuncture.The correct method for rescuing someone with epilepsy is to support the person as they are about to fall, allowing them to descend slowly to prevent injury. Before their mouth closes tightly, quickly roll up a handkerchief or gauze and place it between their upper and lower teeth to prevent them from biting their tongue when their jaw tightens. Loosen the person's collar and pants to ensure normal breathing and prevent respiratory distress.
