Seizure First Aid

Seizure first aid involves staying calm and ensuring safety. Gently guide the person away from sharp or harmful objects, and cushion their head if possible. Do not restrain their movements or place anything in their mouth. Turn them onto their side if possible to help keep their airway clear and prevent choking. Time the seizure; if it lasts longer than 5 minutes, or ifMultiple seizures occur without recovery, call emergency services. After the seizure ends, allow them to rest and stay with them until they're fully alert. Offer reassurance, as they may be disoriented or exhausted.
