Tip - Facts about Seizures and Epilepsy

Published  | Submitted by Semenza J

You can’t swallow your tongue during a seizure. It's physically impossible. You should NEVER force something into the mouth of someone having a seizure. Absolutely not! Forcing something into the mouth of someone having a seizure is a good way to chip teeth, cut gums, or even break someone's jaw. The correct first aid is simple. Just gently roll the person on one side, support their head, protect from injury, and make sure their breathing is okay.
