Safe Seizure Management
Most seizures are harmless and the Child and Young person will make a full recovery. However it is important that parents/carers know how to manage seizures correctly and maintain their child’s safety. You would have been taught how to manage your child’s seizure safely by your child’s doctor or Epilepsy Nurse. Please always follow the advice of your child’s epilepsy specialist.
Below you will find a video from the charity Epilepsy Action which provides a visual example of how to manage a tonic clonic seizure safely;
