Aviod injury by moving the patient to safe surrounding
Dont try to restrain
Prevent tongue bite by inserting a firm object into mouth But dont chock him !
Turn the head to one side this will prevent aspiration
Immediate hospitalisation required if fits last more than 15 minutes
No scientific proof for giving a key to the patient
Clear the airway once the episode is over
It may take a while for the patient to regain full consciouness
Dont leave him alone as the patient will be disoriented for several hours after
a fit
Post fit vomiting and headache are common and do not indicate a serious problem
Remember him to take next dose drug as he may be unaware of it.
