Patient's question:
My brother is a patient with epilepsy. My mother ran off with someone early on, and now my father also works odd jobs outside, rarely coming home. There are only me and my brother left relying on each other at home. I worry about him a lot. He has had epilepsy since he was a child.Doctor's answer:
When a person with epilepsy has a recurrence, it should not be interfered with. When the patient is experiencing tics, others should not forcefully press or bend their body. Do not attempt to place anything in the patient's mouth, such as chopsticks or spoons. Some family members may worry that the patient will bite their tongue during a recurrence and, in desperation, place their fingers between the patient's teeth. This is strictly prohibited. Use a soft cushion to protect the patient's head. After the recurrence has ended, gently place the patient in a stable recovery position to ensure proper breathing.
