What should I do if I have a seizure?

An epileptic seizure is a condition that can be completely unexpected and cause concern.

However, there are steps you can take to help the sufferer during a seizure. It is important to keep your cool and carefully follow the steps below.

First, call the emergency number immediately to seek the help of health professionals. Post your location, if possible, to facilitate their arrival.

Protect the victim by gently placing them on the ground, place them in a comfortable and safe position, removing all objects around them that could injure them. Then gently place something soft under the casualty's head to protect his head from any injuries.

It is important to let the patient have freedom of movement during the seizure and not to try to hold the patient's limbs or restrain him and not to place anything in the patient's oral cavity.

Try to keep calm and monitor the seizure. Note when it starts and when it ends because this information may be useful to health professionals.

Finally, when the seizure is over, help the patient recover slowly by providing comfort and guidance.

It is important to remember that every case of seizure is unique, and you should always contact a healthcare professional for further assessment and advice.
