A member asked:
What do you do with an epileptic child who has a seizure while sitting next to you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EPILEPSY: Having a seizure next to you, call 911 if the attack is prolonged to be evaluated in the er for treatment. Help the patient to be comfortable not to hit anything or hurt himself. If possible put something in the mouth to protect biting lips. We are talking of grand mal seizures not petit mal.
