Detailed explanation-1: -Clear hard or sharp objects away from the person. Don’t try to hold them down or stop the movements. Place them on their side, to help keep their airway clear. Look at your watch at the start of the seizure, to time its length.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stay with the person until the seizure ends and he or she is fully awake. After it ends, help the person sit in a safe place. Once they are alert and able to communicate, tell them what happened in very simple terms. Comfort the person and speak calmly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Place something soft under their head and loosen any tight clothing. Reassure the person until they recover. Time the seizure, if you can. Gently roll the person onto their side after the jerking stops.
