Is there a premonition before a seizure?
Pediatric seizures are usually preceded by some special omens, one is a prodromal symptom, the other is a precursor symptom. Specifically, prodromal symptoms are symptoms of general malaise, irritability, low mood, pickiness, and irritability in children within a few hours or days before the onset of epilepsy symptoms.
Aura symptoms mainly refer to the occurrence of epilepsy in children for a few seconds, prone to illusion or hallucinations, and the appearance of automatic disorders (involuntary, unconscious simple or complex actions, such as smacking, chewing, nodding, hands groping, self-talk, involuntary laughter, running, etc.) and local muscle clonus, and even some other specific feelings. In general, when a child develops prodromal symptoms, it often indicates that he or she will develop epilepsy within days or hours. If the family can recognize these signs, they can prepare for the seizure before the seizure, and ensure that the child can receive timely and reasonable care after the seizure.
Emergency treatment at home when epilepsy occurs
Quickly wrap the tongue depressor or chopsticks in gauze and place it between the upper and lower teeth on the side of the mouth to avoid the child biting the tongue.
Quickly lie the child on his side, keep the child's airway open, raise the head, and unbutton the collar of the child's jacket.
Emergency treatment is carried out by rapidly stimulating acupuncture points such as acupuncture points in children's people, such as Hegu, and Yongquan.
After the child stops the convulsions, it generally takes a few minutes, tens of minutes or even a few hours to return to normal, when the convulsions and spasms completely stop the child into a comatose state, the child's head is tilted to one side, and at the same time, the tongue depressor or chopsticks are removed from the tongue plate or chopsticks between the upper and lower teeth of the child, so that the saliva and vomit in the child's mouth slowly flow out, preventing the tongue root from falling back to block the child's airway, causing the child to suffocate.
Parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and record the situation in detail when the child is onset. When a child has multiple major seizures in a row, and the consciousness has not been restored, it is necessary to immediately send it to the hospital for rescue to avoid delaying the condition and causing the child to have an accident.
