Lay child down gently on the floor. Remove any objects that child might hit during seizure. Protect head from banging on the floor. Do not try to stop the seizure. Let it run its course.
Most seizures end in less than five minutes.
Try to time the length of the seizure. Use a suction bulb to clear the mouth. Do not force any objects between your child's teeth or into the mouth. Do not throw water in your child's face or mouth. When the seizure stops, check for other injuries such as bleeding or broken bones.
