Knowing how to respond during a seizure can help prevent injury and save lives. Most seizures stop on their own, and calm, correct first aid is usually all that is needed.
Pro-Tip: Speak calmly and reassuringly as the seizure ends. Loosen tight clothing around the neck to assist breathing.
Note: A person cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure.
Once the shaking stops, gently turn the person onto their side. This helps keep the airway clear and prevents choking.
Stay nearby, time the event, and offer reassurance until they are fully aware.
Gently guide away from danger (like stairs or traffic) and stay until awareness returns.
Learn their specific seizure action plan if they have one. Education reduces fear and saves lives.
