what should we do if the person having seizures clenches their teeth tightly and bites tongue ,?
Do you elevate/prop the pillow/ prop their head up? Aren’t there tongue protectors?
My friend had a seizure in class yesterday. She explained she had epilepsy on the second day. She told us if she had one she couldn't have anything around her or she'd hurt herself. When she fell our teacher told us not to touch her and no one moved anything while she was having the seizure. She fell on her side, but if she had fallen on her back how should I push her on her side without hurting her?
Thank you for asking about how to help your friend. Don't try to move her until the seizure is over. If she's on her back during a seizure, try to put something under her head so there is some padding between her head and the ground. When the seizure finishes, if she is on her back and is breathing normally, it's okay to let her rest that way. If you think she is going to vomit, then you should think about moving her onto her side. She might be conscious enough to help you turn her. You can also put your hand under head as she turns over, so her head is supported turning the turn.
Chris Schlesinger Chris Schlesinger she has grand mal seizures and doesn't remember them, she has to ask if she had a seizure after having them. She usually wakes up wondering where she is and if she had one. If she were to start choking while she was still on her back, should I try and turn her even though she's unconscious? And is there a specific way I should do it so I don't hurt her or make the seizure worse?
Yes, that's normal not to remember the seizure. During the seizure it's not safe to move her. When the seizure ends, then you can move her to her side even if she's unconscious. While moving her when she's unconscious, make sure one of your hands is supporting her head as you turn her. The idea is the keep her head in line with her torso as you turn her.
Chris Schlesinger alright thank you so much for the info, this will help me a lot.
