Patient's question:
Two colleagues at work had an argument, and suddenly one of them became extremely angry, fell to the ground, and started convulsing, foaming at the mouth. The colleagues nearby were stunned and none dared to approach. Someone suggested using hands to restrain him to prevent his body from moving uncontrollably. Later, it was found that this colleague had been suffering from epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
In case the patient is injured, it is important to promptly move them back to the side of the pool, to a high place, or to the stairs, help remove their glasses, move sharp objects away from the patient, and place soft objects under their body, among other measures. If the patient experiences a recurrence while standing, they should be assisted and guided to prevent sudden falls or wandering into dangerous areas. When the patient is having a seizure, do not attempt to restrain their body. Do not place any objects in the patient's mouth, nor try to give them water, medication, or other food. In addition to treating epilepsy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
