What are the first steps in treating seizures?
When someone is having a seizure, you primarily want to ensure they do not fall, or injure themselves. If they in a chair, be prepared to slowly lower them to the floor, or hold them in the chair. Do not try and control any form of convulsions however. You also want to make sure the person has not swallowed their tongue, but do not stick anything in their mouth. After the seizure has stopped, have the person lay still, and slowly let them acclimate to what happened. Inform them they had a seizure, and ask if they can recall what day it is, and their name. People are often very confused, be patient. READ MORE
