What is some epileptic fit advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No spoon in mouth: For those observing a seizure, lay victim on their side and make space for them. Do not put anything in their mouths. If seizure lasts for more than 5 minutes in a patient with known epilepsy, call an ambulance. If victim never had a seizure or it is not known about their history, call an ambulance.
