Detailed explanation-1: -Turn the person gently onto one side. This will help the person breathe. Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp.
Detailed explanation-2: -If they are at risk of falling or having a convulsive seizure or tonic-clonic seizure: Lay them down on the floor. Put something small and soft under the head. Turn them on their side with their mouth pointing toward the ground.
Detailed explanation-3: -Make sure their breathing is okay If the person is lying down, turn them on their side, with their mouth pointing to the ground. This helps them breathe more easily and keeps saliva from blocking their airway. During a convulsive (or tonic-clonic) seizure, it may look like the person has stopped breathing.
Detailed explanation-4: -You don’t want the person experiencing a seizure to fall or hit their head on a counter or a piece of furniture. The ideal situation is to get them to the floor and clear an area around them. Lay on the left. Once you have them on the floor, try to position them on their left side so if they vomit, they don’t choke.
Detailed explanation-5: -Move the bent leg that is nearest to you, in front of their body so that it is resting on the floor. This position will help to balance them. Gently raise their chin to tilt their head back slightly, as this will open up their airway and help them to breathe. Check that nothing is blocking their airway.
