What to do if someone has a #seizure. Part 2 - #stroketherapy

Follow the person who is about to have a seizure. It's important to remove any scarves or ties that may impede breathing. Call for medical assistance if it's the person's first seizure, if the seizure lasts for more than 5 minutes, or if the person doesn't regain consciousness. In this video, the woman initially considers putting something in the boy's mouth because she's afraid he'll swallow his tongue, but this should never be done as it can cause choking or tooth damage. Later, the girl turns the patient on his side, which is called the recovery position. This position helps the saliva to flow out and the person to breathe better. However, it's important to note that she waited for the seizure to subside before turning him to his side.
