  1. SEIZURE MANAGEMENT of a child at home- Tips for parents:
    Stay calm: It’s crucial to stay as calm as possible during a seizure. Remember that most seizures in children, including febrile seizures, are brief and do not cause any long-term harm.
  2. Ensure safety: Keep your child safe during the seizure by gently guiding them to a soft surface, such as a carpeted floor, away from any sharp objects. Do not put any object inside mouth or inside palm.
  3. Positioning: Place your child on their side during the seizure to prevent choking in case there is any saliva or vomit. Do not try to put hand inside mouth and clear anything.
  4. Do not restrain: It’s important not to restrain or hold your child down during the seizure. Allow the seizure to run its course while ensuring their safety.
  5. Time the seizure: Note the start time of the seizure and observe its duration. Most seizures, including febrile seizures, last only a few minutes. If the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if you notice any signs of breathing difficulties, contact emergency medical services immediately.
  6. Protect the head
  7. Observe and note details: Take note of any specific details about the seizure, such as the movements, duration, and any unusual symptoms your child experiences.
  8. Seek medical attention when child is stable at the earliest.
