Parents and caregivers should stay calm and carefully observe the child. To prevent accidental injury, the child should be placed on a protected surface such as the floor or ground. The child should not be held or restrained during a convulsion. To prevent choking, the child should be placed on his or her side or stomach. When possible, the parent should gently remove all objects in the child's mouth. The parent should never place anything in the child's mouth during a convulsion. Objects placed in the mouth can be broken and obstruct the child's airway. If the seizure lasts longer than 10 minutes, the child should be taken immediately to the nearest medical facility. Once the seizure has ended, the child should be taken to his or her doctor to check for the source of the fever. This is especially urgent if the child shows symptoms of stiff neck, extreme lethargy, or abundant vomiting.

my son had one at 10 months old scared me to dealth the best thing to do is call 911 do not hold them to tight were they cant have the seizure make sure you listen the there breathing and it dont freak if they are breathing hard. do not put anything in there mouth. my son had a seizure for 40 mins which is a very long time most only last 5-7 mins. because he was so long he had to have a brain wave done and a sleep study he is fine now and you would never know but it is a very scary thing and hard to go threw. But make sure you call 911
