How should you handle someone who just had a seizure?

Keep in control: Do not panic. Get the patient down and on their side, if possible. Do not restrain, but do try to be firm but not aggressive in keeping them calm and lying or seated and not trying to get up or run around. During the seizure do not put any thing into the mouth, but keep the airway clear and wipe the mouth. Call for hlep, but keep eye on patient and try to keep time record of what happens.

If the seizure over: If the seizure is over, make the person as comfortable as possible. If the person wants to go to sleep, allow them to sleep as long as they want.
