whats really the 1st and best steps 2 do when ur child is having a convulsion?

Answer 1

The first and important thing is to make sure the child is safe. Help the child down to the floor and move anything in the way out of the way. Instruct someone to call 911 for help while you monitor the child.

NEVER put anything in the child's mouth. If the child starts to vomit, gently move the head to the side.

Note when the seizure started and when it stopped.

And remember after a person has a seizure they can be disoriented or very tired, so let them rest.

Answer 2

A child who's having a seizure should be placed on the ground or floor in a safe area. Remove any nearby objects. Loosen any clothing around the head or neck. Do not try to wedge the child's mouth open or place an object between the teeth, and do not attempt to restrain movements. Once the seizure seems to have ended, roll your child onto his or her side.

Call emergency medical services immediately if your child:

has difficulty breathing
turns bluish in color
has sustained a head injury
seems ill
has a known heart condition
has never had a seizure before
might have ingested any poisons, medications, etc.
If your child has previously had seizures, call emergency services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, or if the seizure is different or unusual.

Following the seizure, your child will probably fall into a deep sleep (this is called the postictal period). This is normal, and you should not try to wake your child. Do not attempt to give food or drink until your child is awake and alert.

For a child who has febrile seizures, the doctor may suggest that you give fever-reducing medicine (such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen) to control the fever and prevent seizures from recurring. Your doctor may also recommend sponging your child with lukewarm water to help cool him or her down.

Following a seizure — particularly if it is a first or unexplained seizure — call your doctor or emergency medical service for instructions. Your child will usually need to be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.

What Do I Do?

Loss of consciousness
Eyes that blink, stare or roll back
Jerking movements of the body, especially her arms and legs
Loss of her ability to control urine and bowels
Should My Child See A Doctor?
If your child is having a seizure or has had a seizure:
Call "911" if you need help.
Always have your child seen by a doctor after a seizure.
What Do I Do?
If your child has a seizure:
Keep calm. Most seizures last less than five minutes.
Turn your infant or child on her side or stomach so that mucus can roll out of her mouth.
Be sure your child is in a safe place where she will not fall or be injured by other objects.
Try to notice what type of movements your child makes and how long the seizure lasts.
Undress your child and keep her body cool if she is hot when the seizure is over.
Allow your child to rest after the seizure.
What Shouldn't I Do?
When your child is having a seizure:
Do not put or force anything between your child's teeth.
Do not try to hold your child or stop the movements.
Do not give your child anything to drink or any medicine during a seizure.
Do not put your child in a bath to stop the seizure.
Could It Be Prevented?
Make sure your child takes her seizure medicine as prescribed.
Treat temperatures over 101° F with acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®).
To prevent head injuries use:
Safety equipment in all contact sports.
Safety equipment with motorcycles, bicycles, skateboards and skates.
Age-appropriate child restraints in motor vehicle
