What to Do Seizure

If you or someone nearby is experiencing a seizure:

1. Stay calm and remain with the person.

2. Gently guide the person to a safe position, such as lying on their side to prevent them from choking.

3. Loosen tight clothing, especially around the neck.

4. Cushion the person's head with something soft (e.g., clothing or a blanket) to prevent injury.

5. Clear the area around the person to ensure there are no obstacles or hazards that could cause harm.

6. DO NOT restrain the person or put anything in their mouth, as this could cause injury.

7. Time the seizure. Note when it starts and when it ends.

8. If the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes or if another seizure begins immediately, call for medical help.

9. After the seizure, gently place the person in the recovery position (lying on their side) to help them breathe more easily.

10. Provide reassurance and comfort until the person is fully recovered.

11. If the person has multiple seizures in a row or seems confused or disoriented afterward, seek immediate medical attention.

12. Inform the person's doctor about the seizure to discuss possible treatment options.
