Do you know that preventing your child from continuing his/her twitching of body is very dangerous?
The amount of force produced during the episode of seizure is so huge that it could break the jaw bone. Just let it go: Place your child in a safe place in order to prevent harm (only if the environment is unsafe, otherwise, don’t move the child). Let the seizure ends and do not try to vigorously hold your child’s body to stop the seizures. Put something soft under his head, if you don’t have something soft available try to surround his head by your both hands, so that your hands act as a cup to protect the child from a possible head injury. But remember to not restrain the child’s movements. Lie his body to the side to protect the person from breathing foreign objects into the airways as this position maintain the airways opened and also help to get out any vomitus that could be discharged and accumulated inside the patient’s mouth. What is the flashing Alarm/Emergency here? Check the time of seizures. It may be a status epileptic that is an emergency and the child needs to in the hospital as soon as possible (7).
