One of the uncontrolled movements made will probably be with the mouth, so you have to try to put a hard and long object between the lips (a stick, for example), so they not bite the tongue or lips, which may end up seriously hurt.
-
If the patient is already on medication, they should always bring with them some pills, tablets or similar and tell it to those who are with him at the time of the attack, medication will have to be introduced in the mouth before or after the shock occurs (It makes no sense to do so during the crisis because the digestive process stops).
- You must not try to move the person while they are suffering the attack. It is best to wait for it to pass. If seizures prolong more than five minutes, or it is known with certainty that patient is diabetic or pregnant, you should notify an ambulance. Once the epileptic seizure passes, the patient will not remember what has happened to him and feel very confused; You must not leave them alone, because they may not remember where they are or where they live.
-
Proceed with caution when approaching the patient, because even stretched on the floor the patient can have out of the ordinary inconsistent strength and it can hit with any of the extremities.
- All objects that can be around should be pushed away immediately because the patient could reach them and hit someone or hit themselves.
-
Ideally, try to get the person on the ground, because if not they will end up falling over themselves with the risk of injury

So they don’t hit their head on the ground during seizures, a pillow can be placed below the neck as cushion or a piece of folded clothing.
