Watching the seizure for the first time is obviously a frightening experience. Without adequate information, you, the observer might even take actions that would endanger the life of the person.
Here are things to do when you are watching and helping a person during seizure attack:
1. Don't be panic. In most cases, the proper emergency response to an attack is simply to prevent the person from self-injury by moving him away from any dangerous object and sharp edges, placing something soft beneath the head and carefully rolling them into the recovery position to avoid suffocation
2. During a seizure, objects should never be placed in a person's mouth as this could result in serious injury to either party. Despite common talk, it is not possible for a person to swallow their tongue during a seizure. However, it is more likely the person will bite their tongue, especially if an object is placed in the mouth
3. When the person is unconscious, never attempt to rouse them. Let the seizure take its full course
4. Should the person throw up, the material should be allowed to drip out the side of the person's mouth by itself.
5. After a seizure, the person may go into a deep sleep or remain disoriented and often unaware that they have just had a seizure. Keep the person under observation until complete recovery. Do not feed them anything until they have returned to normal. The epileptic should not be allowed to wander about unsupervised. Many patients will sleep deeply for a few hours after a seizure, others get headaches which respond to medications.
It is very important that you note how long and how severe the seizure was and any mannerisms displayed during the seizure. This information will help the doctor in diagnosing the type of seizure the person gets.
It is only when a seizure lasts longer than five minutes, or if the seizures begin coming in 'waves' (one after another), then you need to rush the patient to hospital immediately.
